The Luxury Travel Bible always likes to check-in ahead of the crowd and we know you do too. So here is our pick of the openings we think will cause the biggest blip on the luxury radar in 2011. Some are bijoux, some are grand, some may be a real surprise. All will keep you travelling in style in the long, luxie year ahead.
The coolest opening of 2011 could well be in Morocco ( the current hotel 'it' destination). Baglioni Marrakech isn't opening until towards the end on 2011 but already there is a lot of buzz goin' down.
An exclusive villa hotel with only nine rooms,in a 17thcentury setting on a small islandin the south of France, now that's The Luxury Travel Bible'skind of hotel.
Now we know there are rumours of much trouble in paradise and this one has been a lon-n-ng time actually getting past building site stage but we are taking a punt on 2011.
The luxuriousRue St. Honoreis the perfect address for Mandarin Oriental'sParisian home.Like so many hotel openings these days this one has been a long time a-coming.
Shangri-La's new hotel in Doha has been on our radar for a while now; mainly because it will have a helipadbalancing atop its awesomely space-age silver-pronged design.
