🌍 Europe: Historic Grandeur & Lakeside Luxury

1. The Lake Como EDITION (Italy) – Marriott Bonvoy

The EDITION brand is known for its "cool-kid" luxury, and its arrival at Lake Como is set to be spectacular. The highlight? A rumored floating pool that sits directly on the lake waters. It’s the perfect blend of modern minimalist design and classic Italian glamour.

2. Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch (UK) – Hilton Honors

Ever wanted to sleep where history was made? This iconic landmark at the end of The Mall is being transformed into a Waldorf Astoria. You’ll be staying in what was once Winston Churchill’s residence, featuring views that look straight down toward Buckingham Palace.

3. Conrad Athens (Greece) – Hilton Honors

Bringing a bit of 1960s "Mad Men" energy to the Mediterranean, the Conrad Athens is revitalizing a mid-century masterpiece. It will boast the city’s largest swimming pool and a rooftop that offers sweeping views of the Parthenon.

4. Six Senses London (UK) – IHG One Rewards

Located in the historic Whiteleys building in Bayswater, this property will be a haven for wellness junkies. Expect a massive spa, an indoor pool, and the high-end, sustainable luxury that Six Senses is famous for—all bookable with IHG points.

5. Six Senses Milan (Italy) – IHG One Rewards

Milan is getting an eco-chic upgrade. Tucked away in the artistic Brera District, this sanctuary will offer a quiet, green retreat from the bustling fashion capital, focusing on mindfulness and high-tech wellness treatments.

🏝️ The Americas: Tropical Havens & Ultra-Exclusivity

6. Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman – World of Hyatt

Seven Mile Beach is getting a major new player. With 382 rooms, this Grand Hyatt will be a massive addition to the island, offering Hyatt loyalists a premier Caribbean destination for using those hard-earned Category 1-7 (or 8) certificates.

7. Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (Mexico) – Marriott Bonvoy

Located in the lush Riviera Nayarit, Siari will join the ultra-exclusive "Reserve" tier of Ritz-Carlton properties. While these used to be off-limits for points, you can now use Marriott Bonvoy points to experience this level of secluded, raw luxury.

8. St. Regis Costa Mujeres (Mexico) – Marriott Bonvoy

Forget the crowded Hotel Zone. The "New Cancun" is Costa Mujeres, and the St. Regis is bringing its legendary butler service and "Sabering" rituals to this pristine stretch of white sand and turquoise water.

⛩️ Asia & Africa: Secluded Villages & Desert Wellness

9. Park Hyatt Phu Quoc (Vietnam) – World of Hyatt

Designed to look like a traditional Vietnamese village, this Park Hyatt is spread across 65 acres of stunning coastline. It’s set to be one of the most tranquil and architecturally beautiful resorts in Southeast Asia.

10. Miraval The Red Sea (Saudi Arabia) – World of Hyatt

This is a milestone opening: the first-ever international Miraval wellness retreat. Located within the ambitious Red Sea project, this resort will focus on spiritual and physical balance in a breathtaking desert-meets-ocean setting.

Whether you are a Hilton Diamond member or a Hyatt Globalist, 2026 offers a world-class portfolio of new ways to spend your points.
