Why we love

  • Rosemary Verey’s gardens
  • 25-mile menu
  • Its own village pub

“A 17th-century Cotswold stone house where Rosemary Verey planted her first garden”.

THE PIG – in the Cotswolds occupies Barnsley House, a Grade II-listed 17th-century manor of honey-coloured stone in the village of Barnsley, four miles from Cirencester. It was once the home of Rosemary Verey, and the Arts and Crafts gardens she laid out here, her first, still frame the house with a laburnum walk, a knot garden, potagers and a Tuscan temple. Twenty-four rooms are spread across the main house, the stable yard, the potting shed and a secret garden, ranging from small doubles to garden hideaways with freestanding tubs. The restaurant cooks from a 25-mile menu built around the kitchen garden, the hotel’s own Village Pub sits across the lane, and a small spa with a sauna and an outdoor hydrotherapy pool is tucked at the end of a garden path.

Thyme

Hotel

Europe, England

From $560

Thyme is a boutique hotel set within Southrop Manor, a restored 17th-century estate on the quiet southern edge of the Cotswolds. Its 31 bedrooms are spread across stone farmhouses, cottages and barns, each one decorated differently, many with rolltop baths and botanical wallpapers. The estate runs on its own produce, and most of what reaches the table at the Ox Barn restaurant comes from the farm and kitchen garden next door, with The Swan, the village pub, as a more casual option. Days can include a class at the cookery school, a treatment at the Meadow Spa, a swim in the spring-fed pool in summer, or a long walk through fields of grazing sheep toward the Thames.

Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge

Hotel

North America, United States

From $290

Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge is an adults-only retreat on the north bank of the Rogue River, seven miles upriver from Gold Beach on the southern Oregon coast. A family-owned lodge since the 1970s, it is surrounded by dense forest a few miles from the Siskiyou National Forest, far from the busier stretches of the Pacific Northwest. Rooms, suites and riverside houses open onto the water, with stone fireplaces and wood interiors throughout. Days are spent kayaking, fishing, hiking or taking jet boat trips upriver, with an outdoor pool, a sauna and massages back at the lodge, and dinner is served family-style each evening.

Casa Polanco

Hotel

North America, Mexico

From $600

Casa Polanco is a 19-room boutique hotel in Mexico City’s Polanco district, set directly across from Parque Lincoln and a short walk from Avenida Presidente Masaryk and the city’s best restaurants. It joins a restored 1940s Neocolonial mansion, recognized by Mexico’s National Institute of Fine Arts, with a contemporary building designed by architect Claudio Gantous. Rooms feature walnut floors, custom furniture and, in many cases, balconies over the park or the inner courtyard. Rates include breakfast at La Veranda, a guests-only restaurant, as well as daily afternoon tea and an honor bar in the library, and the hotel also has a spa, a fitness room and e-bikes for getting around.

Capella Sydney

Hotel

Oceania, Australia

From $750

Capella Sydney occupies the former Department of Education building, an Edwardian Baroque sandstone landmark designed by government architect George McRae in 1912, a short walk from Circular Quay and the Sydney Opera House. After a seven-year restoration by Make Architects and BAR Studio, a modern glass extension now crowns the historic facade, and the 192 rooms and suites pair heritage details with contemporary comfort. Works by Australian artists, including Judy Watson, fill the public spaces, and a cultural program covers Aboriginal history, art and the harbor. On level six, the Auriga Spa and a 20-meter indoor pool occupy the old gallery, while Brasserie 1930 and the ground-floor Living Room set the pace downstairs.
