(CNN) — The hospitality industry is back in business, with many exciting hotels and spas opening around the world in the last couple of years.
The selected projects were selected from over 5,000 entries from over 90 countries, but the top three entries were from the US, the UK and China. Hotels and spas that have made their mark in the interiors and architecture sectors from Europe and North America — particularly Mexico — have had a strong showing.
Here are seven of the best new hotels and spas set for 2022, according to Dezeen. Finalists will be announced in November this year.
Bath and Barley (Brussels, Belgium)
Beer spas — with hops, herbs and water baths — have long been a tradition in the Czech Republic, but despite the history of beer creation, Béz & Barley is the first beer spa to open in Belgium.
Antwerp design agency WeWantMore had a great template to work with: a centuries-old building in the heart of Brussels’ old town, complete with an impressive warehouse. The renovation uses heritage materials such as copper, grain and stained glass, creating a relaxing space for visitors to soak in the wooden bathtubs, before trying one of the draft beers on tap.
Swan Lock (Munich, Germany)
Easily the most elegant way to experience Munich’s Oktoberfest — the Theresienwiese grounds are just minutes away — it’s a hotel-home hybrid, with 151 spacious studio apartments.
Common areas include a gym, co-working space, coffee shop, retail and BAMBULE! A restaurant-bar, it is blocked by the team behind the local Michelin-starred restaurant Mural.
The Hoxton Poblenou (Barcelona, Spain)
The Hoxton chain opened its 11th hotel – and first Spanish outlet – in Barcelona earlier this year.
Innismore’s design team took inspiration from the late Spanish architect Ricardo Bofil, known for his use of geometric shapes.
The 240-room hotel features a rooftop pool and taqueria, as well as a pizza patio and slice shop.
Downtown LA Authentic Hotel (Los Angeles, California)
Downtown LA’s authentic hotel has been a buzzing place since the 1920s.

A historic 1920s building gets a playful modern makeover in this 148-room Downtown LA. Latin American and Moroccan influences are applied to the frescoes and finishes, with site-specific installations by local contemporary artists Abel Macias, Ben Medansky, Morgan Peck and Judson Studios.
The rooftop pool features city-wide views, but if you want the water to yourself, there’s always the Pool Suite, featuring a private full-size indoor pool.
Casona Sforza (Puerto Escondido, Mexico)
This adults-only resort opened in Oaxaca in 2020 and architect Alberto Calach’s building is a truly stunning design.
The 11 suites feature tropical woods, natural materials and neutral colors, and each boasts panoramic views of the azure sea beyond. The perfect balance of design and nature.
Hotel Terrestre (Puerto Escondido, Mexico)
Also in the port city of Puerto Escondido, Hotel Terrestre is a 100% solar-powered boutique hotel built with local materials such as concrete, white mud brick, “maki” wood and natural pine wood.
The building is hidden in a garden of lush vegetation, and each room has its own outdoor shower and sand and flower garden.
Hotel Terrestre, Carrera Salina Cruz- Pinotepa, 71983 Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico
Valle San Nicolas Clubhouse (Valle de Bravo, Mexico)
Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos is the team behind this clubhouse for a residential development in Valle de Bravo, Mexico.
The city is a center for water sports and this circular building makes the most of its lake and mountainside setting.
The concept of the structure is a boat anchored in the lake, and floating on the water.
