The Best New Boutique Hotel Openings in Spring 2022

The list of the most anticipated boutique hotels opening in Spring 2022 is finally here. We love a good, intimate boutique property — and even more so when there’s the privilege of being among the first to experience a hotel’s fresh design, attentive concierge service, and that unmistakable energy of a place making its debut on the hospitality scene.

All featured hotels have fewer than 90 rooms, with the exception of a couple of resorts that carry a boutique sensibility through their focus on privacy and thoughtful detail.
