AHL's Favorite Future Forward Hotels

At A Hotel Life we celebrate the coolest hotels in the world and the people behind them. We love creative, thoughtful hospitality that not only comforts, amazes and entertains but also inspires and helps us to do good. It means we are always on the lookout for ideas and initiatives that bring us closer to our communities and to our planet. We offer solutions to businesses and we want to guide travelers to make better choices, which will ultimately drive the industry in the same direction. This is what we call Future Forward travel.

We’ve been traveling the world for the past 8 years and have been lucky to see lots of great hotels doing it right, especially in recent times. Here is a round up of some favorites from our archives with a quick hint on why we love them so much, click through their reviews to learn more!
