A European representative among luxury hotels with less than 15 rooms can be found hidden away on a quiet street of Athens. Even from the outside it conveys silence and elegance. For example, through ornate balconies made of wrought iron or light blue shutters. Inside, the color palette consists of gentle earth tones. Carefully selected furniture, art, and amenities like rain showers make the suites special. Breakfast is served in the morning in the suite. And if it may be a little bit more, the Iconic Suite is just the right thing. Guests relax on the private outdoor terrace in the Jacuzzi with a view of the Acropolis.

The Carlin Hotel, Queenstown/New Zealand
Number of rooms: 12

It's not quite clear which is more beautiful: the view from the beautiful suite of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountain range or the design of the total of only eight suites. Each of them has its own rooftop spa and outdoor areas with a hot tub and a fire pit. Those who opt for the Royal Suite will enjoy, among other things, a large kitchen - where the chef personally prepares dinner. The hotel's Oro restaurant offers fine dining, while minibars are on the house as is the standard. This luxury hotel, with fewer than 15 rooms, is anything but small. It spreads out over seven floors.

Thorngrove Manor, Adelaide/Australia
Number of rooms: 5

Luxury hotels with fewer than 15 rooms can already be described as intimate, but Thorngrove Manor in Adelaide, Australia, goes one better. The beautiful estate, which is reminiscent of a European castle, has just five rooms. And even rooms is an understatement. The suites are expansive and exceedingly posh. Antiques, a bit of baroque patina, but all the modern amenities you can imagine are included. Guests dine either by candlelight in the dining room or in the suite.
