The 50 Best Hotel Openings of 2025

Lost Villa · Huanglong Island Lighthouse Hotel, Zhoushan, China

Keys: 28
Design: SZ-Architects and WJ Studio
Why we love it: Tucked within remote Shengsi County, the hotel is an act of rural revitalization on an island shaped by rugged cliffs and a deeply rooted fishing heritage. Its design explores three dimensions of time—natural, historical, and human—drawing from reef landscapes, local memory, and the slower rhythms of island life.
