The Best Hotel Openings in the Americas for 2023
The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya, Mexico
Drawing on a rich palette of limestone, walnut, and layered textiles, the 124-room resort celebrates the ancient spiritual beliefs of the Mayan people, resulting in a design that references mysticism, hieroglyphics, timekeeping, and astronomy with colors inspired by the surrounding blue sea, lush greenery, natural stones, and brown mangrove roots.
