From Sardinia to South Beach, I’m naming these the eight most fashionable hotels of 2026.

The same can be said for when a stylish person embarks on a well-documented and thoughtfully planned vacation. This year, it appears that the fashion crowd is traveling extensively. From the beaches of South Beach to the ski slopes of St. Moritz, especially in Sils Maria and the Pigalle district of Paris, a new wave of chic hotels is emerging globally. Some are brand new, such as the budget-friendly Hotel Massé in Paris, while others, like Sardinia's Cala di Volpe, are long-standing favorites that are gaining renewed attention. Nevertheless, these eight locations have made their way onto the wish lists of fashion enthusiasts worldwide. If you're interested in which hotels are currently trending among the style-savvy, explore the most buzzworthy accommodations that matter to them in 2026—and, of course, what to pack to match the ambiance of each.

      **Hotel El Roblar**

      If the fashion crowd is collectively retreating to Ojai this year, it's thanks to El Roblar. Recently reopened after a fifty-year closure, it has swiftly become the hotspot for everyone from designer Anine Bing to celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips. Revitalized by the team behind The Bowery Hotel, it exudes that sought-after "lived-in luxury" synonymous with great hotels. With its Spanish Revival architecture framing breathtaking views of the Topatopa Mountains, El Roblar provides a rustic yet elegant backdrop for every trendsetter's long weekend away from L.A. **What to Pack**

      **The Shelborne**

      The team behind Santa Monica's popular Proper Hotel has arrived on the East Coast with a new project that has already attracted numerous fashion personalities. Enter the Shelborne, a South Beach jewel that has just emerged from a $100 million renovation, revitalizing the aesthetics of Miami's 1970s golden age. Fashion aficionados are captivated by the lobby’s earthy travertine flooring and the charming 1950s diving board—it all feels like living within a Slim Aarons editorial. **What to Pack**

      **Hotel Cala di Volpe**

      There's a reason every fashionable individual you follow appears in Sardinia by mid-July, and it's often due to Hotel Cala di Volpe. Though designed by Jacques Couëlle in 1963, long before Costa Smeralda gained its reputation as a standout destination, the property feels incredibly relevant in 2026 as interest in the Sardinian coast continues to rise. Offering chic dinners on the terrace and aperitifs with views of the emerald bay, the hotel’s sculptural, almost surreal architecture gives it a cinematic feel, as if stepping into a postcard from the 1960s. **What to Pack**
