From the mountains of Israel to the Galapagos Islands located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, here are a few new or soon-to-open hotels and resorts around the globe.
Pereh Mountain Resort, Israel
A Bauhaus-style French Custom House in Israel’s Golan Heights and Galilee region has been transformed into a boutique hilltop resort. Pereh Mountain Resort, situated on a private estate surrounded by gardens and orchards, features 27 luxurious but not fussy rooms and suites with high ceilings, original wood floors and rounded stone walls and either a terrace, balcony or roof deck. The resort also has an infinity pool, a hot tub, a spa offering an array of treatments such as hot stone and deep tissue massages, a restaurant serving dishes made from seasonal local ingredients, a bar and meeting and events spaces. And with wineries, artists studios, ancient cities and archaeological sites and a host of outdoors activities such as ziplining, hiking, kayaking and horseback riding at their doorstep, travelers have plenty to keep them entertained.
Pereh Mountain Resort is currently offering several summer promotions including a 15 percent discount for same day reservations and a 25 percent discount off the second night stay for 2-night stays between Sunday and Thursday during the months of July and August.

Capella Kyoto, Japan
Capella Hotels and Resorts is expanding into Japan with its first Japanese property due to open in Kyoto in mid-2025. Located adjacent to the Kenninji Temple in the historic Miyagawa-chō district, Capella Kyoto is being designed by Kengo Kuma and Associates—the architectural firm behind high-profile projects such as the Japan National Stadium, built for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
The new 92-room hotel will rise four stories and have a 2-story basement. It will have two restaurants, a bar, a patisserie, a spa, 2-story rock garden and a ballroom. The design of its interior and exterior will pay homage to certain aspects of Japanese culture like tea ceremonies and its location within a vibrant cultural area known for its geishas and apprentice geishas.
“Filled with culture and heritage, Kyoto is the perfect place for us to establish a presence in Japan as the city is very much aligned with the group’s visionary curation of culture and experience,” said Cristiano Rinaldi, president of Capella Hotel Group, in a press statement.
