The 50 Best Hotel Openings of 2025

&Beyond Suyian Lodge, Laikipia, Kenya

Keys: 15
Design: Fox Browne Creative, Michaelis Boyd, and Nicholas Plewman Architects
Why we love it: Nestled within the 44,000-acre Suyian Conservancy, each domed lodge mirrors the natural rock outcrops around it. Inside, Kenya’s tactile richness comes to life through Samburu beadwork and wild dog-inspired cladding (“suyian” means wild dog in the local language). The property also offers rare access to elusive wildlife, including the iconic black leopard.
