Hottest hotel openings in February 2022

Tuesday, February 1, 2022

So far this year, the most popular stories have referenced Marriott, Raffles, Hyatt and Hilton’s hotel openings and development plans in 2022 and beyond.

Without further a due, here are my hottest hotel openings to look forward to in February.

One Hundred Shoreditch, London

Located in prime position on Shoreditch High Street, and arriving this February on our ‘hotel openings’ radar, One Hundred Shoreditch is the new hotel from Lore Group, the group behind Sea Containers London, Pulitzer Amsterdam, Riggs Washington DC and Lyle Washington DC.



Designed by Lore Group Creative Director Jacu Strauss, One Hundred Shoreditch will reflect how the area has evolved during the last decade, with interiors that mirror the neighbourhood’s new, grown-up feel while retaining the buzz and vibrancy synonymous with the area in the hotel’s public spaces.

Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, Qatar

For the wellness gurus among us, the news that Chiva-Som is opening a retreat in the Middle East is nothing short of significant for the brand, as well as Qatar.

Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som sits in a pioneering destination in the Middle East that blends Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine with a holistic health and wellbeing philosophy, established by Chiva-Som, the internationally acclaimed wellness resort in Thailand.

The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad

Following our insight into Marriott’s 2022 hotel development pipeline, there is one hotel that stands out for us in that exciting mix of hotel openings in Manhattan, and that’s the The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad, steeped in history but we are told will feel ‘thoroughly modern’.

The 250-key hotel, which will finally open this February, shelters a spa with eight treatment rooms, an all-day dining restaurant led by Michelin-starred chef José Andrés and almost 1,000 square-metres of event space.

YOTELPAD Miami

Taking the clever hospitality concept that made YOTEL famous and loved among the on-the-go modern travellers, but packaging it up with a more residential feel, YOTELPAD, we expect, is going to turn heads on the global long-stay hospitality scene.


Each PAD is the epitome of efficiency, with custom European kitchen and bath cabinetry with stone finishes, contemporary flooring and beautifully made furniture and that transforms to do everything modern guests need.

Short Stories Hotel

In the heart of Los Angeles sits a 66-key boutique hotel that is about to open a new hospitality experience, where the stories may be short but also deeply meaningful.

Short Stories Hotel LA draws inspiration from LA’s breezy natural aesthetic and pace, and will serve as a ‘tranquil retreat in an urban core’.

MET La Paz

Opening in one of Bolivia’s trendiest neighbourhoods, the 76-key MET La Paz will shelter a contemporary design narrative, which will flow through from the lobby/open restaurant area right into the guestrooms and suites.

Inhabit Queen’s Gardens, London

Listed in our ‘hottest arrivals in 2022‘, Inhabit London Queen’s Gardens will open as an intimate boutique hotel comprising of 159 uplifting guestrooms, along with carefully considered social spaces. Just like its sister hotel, which shares the same city as its home, Inhabit Queen’s Gardens has been created with a passion for wellbeing and living in a way that supports a healthy mind and body, as well as modelling responsible hospitality practices.
