The 41 Best Hotel Openings of 2022
Regent Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam
Against the verdant backdrop of Vietnam’s Phu Quoc island, Blink Design Group crafted the Regent Phu Quoc, home to 176 suites and 126 villas. Guided by the surrounding landscape and the country’s architectural heritage, the team embraced the duck eggshell inlays for which the region is known; abstracted the local wooden truss system called bovi into a motif that appears on carpets and screens; and incorporated more than 200 pools that magnify the Gulf of Thailand’s ethereal presence.
