Hotel Koé
Tokyo, Japan
A modular hotel, at Hotel Koé the check-in desk morphs into a DJ
booth come evening. Take the shift in atmosphere as your cue to
order pre-dinner drinks at the bar before making tracks for the VIP
area to ogle over paintings by Yoshitomo Nara and Hiroshi Sugita.
When hunger strikes, head to the hotel’s spacious, open-plan
restaurant and dine on pink egg and ramen noodles. Come bedtime,
get comfy at one ten teahouse-themed, super-minimal guest rooms
sized with labels S to XL.

Hotel Sanders
Copenhagen, Denmark
Founded by former Royal Danish Ballet dancer Alexander Kolpin,
this 54-room, art-nouveau hotel is designed in the best of taste.
Sustainably made staff uniforms are by Parisian label Older while
eclectic interiors designed by London-based studio Lind + Almond
give this city hotspot a surprisingly un-Scandinavian feel. Since
opening in 2017, Hotel Sanders has become the city’s unofficial
(and extremely luxurious) creative hub.
