1. The Knickerbocker Hotel, New York City, USA
The Knickerbocker Hotel in the heart of New York City’s infamous Times Square isn’t an entirely brand new establishment. It originally opened its doors in the early 20th century and stopped accepting guests in 1921. That all changed in 2015, however, as it has opened its doors and welcomed new patrons to enjoy the refurbished hotel. Outside might be the hustle and bustle of the streets below but the interior of the hotel and the design of each room provide the perfect relaxing escape. That’s because the decor gives off a minimalistic yet stylish feel. Not cold but clean and cozy. The best thing about the reopening of the Knickerbocker Hotel is that more tourists get the chance to stay in the heart of the city close to all the exciting destinations the Big Apple has to offer.

Booking a room on their flawlessly designed website complements the whole experience perfectly and gives you a chance to get a feel of the hotel’s vibe before you arrive.
3. Element Vancouver Metrotown, Vancouver, Canada
Nestled in the famous Canadian city, the Element Vancouver Metrotown is a state of the art hotel that looks as good from the inside as it looks on the outside.

Guests can enjoy all the local amenities or hop on the nearby SkyTrain and step off at downtown Vancouver in just 20 minutes.

While it doesn’t have all the glitz and glamour of other, more established hotels in Milan, it does provide a cozy hospitable feel. The number one reason why this hotel made the list of worlds best in 2015 is that it doesn’t cost the earth. It’s incredibly worth booking a stay here if you’re touring Milan on a budget but not quite willing to slum it.
