1 Hotels hotels

Reclaimed wood and living greenery bring the outdoors into hotels built around lighter consumption.

1 Hotels brings the outdoors into the city, with reclaimed timber, living greenery, and the easy rhythm of a neighborhood café. Founded by Barry Sternlicht and launched in Miami Beach and Manhattan in 2015, the brand carries that nature-minded approach through Bamford spas, plant-forward restaurants, and small practical touches such as filtered-water taps in place of plastic bottles.

18 1 Hotels hotels in 10 countries on the Luxury Hotels Atlas (2 not open yet), each placed on the six LHA Tiers.

• Owned by Starwood Capital Group
• Worldwide: 15 open hotels across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Denmark, Australia, Japan, and China, with a further 6 properties in the confirmed pipeline across four additional countries; the brand collectively holds 11 MICHELIN Keys across its portfolio as of 2025

History

The first 1 Hotels established the American collection on both coasts before the brand moved into Europe, Australia, and Japan. Mayfair, Copenhagen, Melbourne, and Tokyo give the nature-minded design philosophy different urban settings, while environmental certification remains part of the approach as the collection grows.
