[View in browser]( [Image](   [HOTELS]( [INSPIRATION]( [OFFERS]( They say variety is the spice of life, and we’d tend to agree, which is why this month we’ve rounded up a diverse selection of deserving debuts from which to see out the summer. Dig out your highest heels for a historic, high-glamour stay teetering on Manhattan’s southernmost tip, embrace horizontal living on Mexico’s car-free island of Holbox, or dream of Californication at a revamped Art Deco darling. [SEE WHAT'S NEW](   [CASA CIPRIANI NEW YORK, UNITED STATES]( They say everything’s bigger stateside, and after a stay at Casa Cipriani, it’s easy to see why. Housed in a former ferry terminal overlooking Lady Liberty, the hotel’s expertly restored Beaux-Arts building boasts a vast stained-glass roof, hulking period ironwork, mullioned windows and Guastavino tiled arches. Combine that with the Italian brand’s reputation for decadence, and you get luxury of dazzling new heights with suites lined in Loro Piana cashmere, a flush of glamorous after-hours venues and an atmosphere as sparkling as their signature bellinis.

Fountains and ornate stone urns recall ancient Mayan ceramics; checkerboard floors, Chesterfield sofas and wooden display cabinets hark back to the colonial era; Chukum stucco speaks to the Yucatan landscape, while the in-house boutique showcases the region’s best craftsmanship. Elsewhere, you’ll find antique loveseats, spiral staircases and a courtyard pool where sipping mezcal margaritas from a lounger is the only homework required. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( [THE GEORGIAN, SANTA MONICA]( Everyone loves a comeback. Especially in the guise of a tall, turquoise, time machine promising to whisk you back to Hollywood’s golden age. An Ocean Drive icon, The Georgian was once a destination de rigueur for stars of the silver screen, with Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin among its regulars. But its sequel is set to be equally glamorous with buttoned-up bellhops, tasselled keys, in-room ‘champagne’ buttons and a colour palette that'd make Wes Anderson weep. [VIEW HOTEL](   [KA BRU BEACH BOUTIQUE HOTEL, BAHIA]( Emerging from swathes of tropical mangroves, you spot a glistening blue pool in the distance. And wait, is that a mango caipirinha? Sure, it could be a mirage, but you may have also found yourself at Ka Bru Beach Boutique Hotel, an intimate six-suiter set among the scenic wilds of Brazil’s Maraú Peninsula where you can spend your days bronzing at the golden sand beach, exploring deserted islands on the hotel’s fleet of canoes, or joining the locals for a samba or two in town. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( [SUNSET REEF ST KITTS]( Calling all aspiring mermaids; Sunset Reef St Kitts is a sustainable, ocean-front escape where guests can really discover what’s under the sea. And while we can’t promise singing crabs or chubby-cheeked damselfish, you might just catch a bale of turtles nesting on the black-sand beach, peek a dolphin from your paddle board, or even spot a humpback whale while sipping sundowners at the beach bar, as that famously Caribbean blue melts into Caribbean gold. [VIEW HOTEL](   [CASA MUUCH, HOLBOX]( There’s ‘out of office’ and then there’s Isla Holbox, a car-free island so serene that you’re liable to forget such things (office who?) ever existed. It’s here you’ll find Casa Muuch, a welcome antidote for weary urbanites who can swap their emails and expense reports for life’s simple, and delightfully lazy pleasures – idling on the sand as the sound of the sea lulls you gently to sleep, say, snoozing your alarm for an extra hour in bed, or ordering a second round of French toast and fruit platters to your room, because duh, how else are you fuelling that afternoon siesta?
