Highlights include:
Admiral Hotel (Copenhagen, Denmark) – L.V.X Collection: On Copenhagen’s vibrant waterfront, Admiral Hotel stands as a testament to the city’s maritime legacy and modern spirit. Housed within a grand 18th-century warehouse once used by the Danish navy, the hotel’s soaring timber beams and raw brickwork have been meticulously preserved, creating a dramatic backdrop for 366 guestrooms, lofts, and suites. This urban sanctuary offers sweeping harbor views and easy access to cultural attractions, with unique experiences like electric boat cruises through the city’s canals. The hotel’s exclusive Aye Aye Restaurant elevates dining with inventive cuisine that blends the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean with distinct Nordic ingredients, served in a stylish setting overlooking the harbor.
Horseshoe Bay Resort (Horseshoe Bay, Texas) – Lifestyle Collection; Preferred Residences Collection: Set along the scenic shores of Lake Lyndon B. Johnson in the heart of Texas Hill Country, Horseshoe Bay Resort blends recreation and relaxation sprawled across an impressive 7,000 acres.

The resort features three championship golf courses, a one-of-a-kind floating pool, a full-service lakeside spa, and a wide range of family-friendly amenities—from pickleball, tennis, off-roading excursions, boating, fishing, and a dedicated kids’ club to an aqua obstacle course for summer fun. Dining options range from lakefront fare to Southern-inspired cuisine across vibrant venues, ensuring every stay is a true Texas lakeside escape.

Surrounded by ancient olive groves and offering sweeping views from the Adriatic Sea to the scenic countryside, Masseria San Domenico provides an authentic Italian escape. Its whitewashed building houses 40 rooms and suites, offering spacious interiors, king-size beds, and private terraces.

Each of the 17 private villas is thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in the island's serene beauty, featuring open-air living spaces, private heated infinity pools, and panoramic rainforest views. Guests can indulge in holistic wellness at the on-site spa, savor innovative Indonesian cuisine, and participate in curated cultural experiences such as guided sunrise nature and village walks, painting classes, and temple visits. With a setting that celebrates the spirit of Bali, Samsara Ubud invites travelers to experience a harmonious blend of luxury, culture, and nature.
Treasure Bay Fuxian Lake (Yuxi, China) – Lifestyle Collection: Nestled between the shimmering waters of Fuxian Lake and the fossil-rich Maotian Mountain National Geopark in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, Treasure Bay Fuxian Lake sits within a world-class deep blue lake region known for its year-round spring-like climate. Just one hour by car from Kunming, this hidden gem is often regarded as the city’s backyard retreat—an escape where natural beauty and international elegance converge. With 464 thoughtfully designed guestrooms and suites, the resort invites guests to enjoy the indoor pool and explore the surrounding landscapes through mountain hiking and lakeside walks. Dining venues showcase a harmonious blend of regional flavors and global cuisine, creating an experience that reflects Yunnan’s rich heritage. Perfect for travelers seeking tranquility and discovery, this lakeside retreat offers a contemporary escape surrounded by nature.

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2026
Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.
Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.
We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.
Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."
While membership spots for 2026 are limited, it's not too late to renew.- Read more her
