"With the new year comes new opportunities, and 2026 is shaping up to be an unforgettable moment for hotels-from new boutique brands entering the chat, to luxury stalwarts expanding into bold new territories. Where's the action, you ask? All over. A waterfront newcomer makes its splashy debut in Charleston. Miraval opens its first international outpost in an up-and-coming wellness destination."
"Case in point: the much-anticipated opening of The Cooper, with a remarkable waterfront location overlooking Charleston Harbor. Adjacent to Joe Riley Waterfront Park (home to the Pineapple Fountain), The Cooper is walking distance from downtown's top dining and attractions. It will also have an infinity pool overlooking the water, and a private on-site marina with a fleet of luxury cruising vessels for guest use, a house yacht for dinner cruises and private events,"
Major hotel openings in 2026 span historic cities and emerging wellness destinations worldwide. Waterfront properties and restored grande dames will debut in Charleston, Kyoto, and San Francisco, offering luxury amenities and renewed cultural presence. Miraval will launch its first international outpost in an up-and-coming wellness destination, expanding spa-and-wellness offerings. Boutique brands will enter markets in Thailand and Australia with immersive, conscientious travel concepts. The Cooper in Charleston will feature an infinity pool, private marina, house yacht, and water-taxi service, placing guests within walking distance of downtown dining and attractions. New properties present opportunities for early visits before wider recognition.
