From Singapore to Norway, there are plenty of reasons to plan your next trip around a fabulous hotel opening its doors next year.
Here are 11 of them.
The Reverie Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam)
Opening: January 2015
Part of the new Times Square building in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1, this lavish lodging doesn't cut corners.
The 286 rooms and suites have been fitted out by four of Italy's finest interior designers and come with elaborate chandeliers, jeweled beds and velvet curtains.
Cantonese food is dished up by a Michelin-starred chef, there's traditional Italian in a dining room named after Romeo and Juliet (R&J), a deli and one of the longest bar counters in HCMC (reportedly the length of a city block).
You can arrive in one of the property's fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantom Dragons or, if you're short for time, chopper in -- the hotel has its own helipad.
The Reverie Saigon, 22 Nguyen Hue, Ben Nghe, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; +84 8 3920 9520
Opening: February 2015
Philippe Starck may have been responsible for the design of existing properties in the Mama Shelter portfolio, but the French interiors celebrity passes the baton to Thierry Gaugain for the brand's Los Angeles property.
Located in a 1923 building and one-time hotel in Hollywood (supposedly a favorite of Jimi Hendrix and Eva Gardner) the property's 70 rooms will feature the same design flair of sister properties across France and Turkey.
Unfortunately, we'll have to take the company's word for it -- no photos have yet been released of the secretive new property.
In addition to a ground-floor restaurant and bar, the hotel will offer dining and drinks on a rooftop patio.
From here you'll enjoy unbroken vistas of the nightlife along Cahuenga Boulevard, the Hollywood ArcLight (one of the largest movie theaters in the city), Amoeba Music and, every Sunday, the Hollywood Farmers' Market, which is a block away on Selma and Ivar.
