The Best Hotel Openings in the Americas for 2023

Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya, Mexico

Located on 200 acres of tropical jungle and white sand beaches on the Riviera Maya, the 72-room Maroma was a former home built in the 1970s. The property was reimagined by Tara Bernerd as a luxurious retreat that pays homage to its Mayan roots, notably in elements like the 700,000 clay tiles handpainted by ceramicist José Noé Suro that appear throughout.
