The top 10 most anticipated hotel openings of 2023

Today, I share with you the hottest luxury hotels & resorts that are expected to open their doors in 2023. It promises to be an exciting year as some of these new hotels. The most anticipated hotel opening of 2023 is not on this list though as it’s so secret that only few details are know so far: it will be a new Soneva resort in the Maldives, consisting of 17 luxury villas with a floating villa design that has never been done in the world before (I am super excited about this property and I will share more details as they become known).

Please keep in mind that hotel openings do get delayed from time to time, so to avoid disappointment, try not to book a room before the hotel effectively opened.
