Hello! I publish that list every year so make sure to go read the list of new boutique hotels opening in 2019, all with pool.

As customary now at the beginning of the year, here are the upcoming new boutique hotels openings that I spotted.  I only choose those that have around or less than 50 rooms, have or will have a certain style, and, new this year, will have a pool.

Croatia

Hotel in Krk island, Croatia

• 35 rooms
• http://www.lotusarchitecti.com/hotel_krk.html

An impressive new boutique hotel, which includes a rooftop infinity pool is to be built on the island of Krk next year (that would be a handy word at Scrabble!).  The island has no boutique hotel so this should be a welcome addition.  The location is perfect as it’s right on the seafront.

France

Relais de Chambord

• 55 rooms
• From £145
• relaisdechambord.com

Le Relais de Chambord will have 55 rooms, a bistro and a spa, all housed in a 19th-century building.

Royal Champagne

I had mentioned it in my list of hotels opening in 2017 but clearly there’s been delay in the project as they now state a summer 2018 opening.

Les Sources de Caudalie are a very well known luxury hotel in the Bordeaux region with a spa that introduced treatments using the local vinyard grapes and of course they have their beauty products range.  They have now invested in the other grand region of wine in France: Champagne. Currently restoring the Royal Champagne into a five-star hotel with  fifty rooms and suites, a luxury spa and a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Martin’s Hotel du Hainaut, Valenciennes

• 79 rooms
• https://www.martinshotels.com/en/hotel/martins-du-hainaut/the-hotel

Ok so this one is bigger than what I generally choose but Valenciennes is an unusual destination so it’s interesting to see that a luxury hotel with a spa and indoor pool will open there. There will also be an Italian restaurant; a separate brasserie, a lobby bar,and a billiard bar.

Le Magic, Vitré

This will be the first 4 stars hotel in this small Anjou town. It will be in the former Banque de France and in another private domain. A pool, spa, fitness space will also be developed.

The hotel will have 2 swimmimg pools (25m/6 and 5m/6), a wellness centre, restaurant, pastry shop (of course!- and a rooftop garden with exceptional views over Paris.

This is one of the two new hotels that Soho House will open in London (for the other one, make sure to subscribe to my newsletter where I send additional information on hotels and villas that don’t have a pool).  The old BBC Television Centre comes to life again and it’s circular shape will now welcome 45 vintage-styled bedrooms, a cinema, a Cowshed spa and the group’s trademark rooftop pool.

The Langley

• opens in June
• 41 rooms
• rates TBC

Sitting in a former royal hunting ground and with gardens, this new hotel already seems like a classic British country pile with grandeur afoot.  lThe rooms will be divided across the main house and The Brew House, a Grade II listed 18th century outbuilding. In keeping with its heritage, many of the building’s original features have been painstakingly re-established. Baroque fireplaces and ornate doorways are found throughout the property, balancing its rich history with contemporary luxury.

The Langley Spa will feature an indoor and outdoor pool, thermal area and eight expansive treatment rooms.
