5 Best Art Deco Hotels To Celebrate 100 Years Of Glamour In 2025

“Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!” said Jay Gatsby in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s beloved novel, The Great Gatsby. That’s exactly the sentiment this year as Art Deco officially turns 100 years this year. First unveiled at the Paris Expo in 1925, the Art Deco movement dominated the Roaring Twenties to 1940s with its influence felt across the globe.

In Paris, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs is marking Art Deco’s centenary with an exhibition of contemporary scenography running from October 22, 2025 to April 26, 2026. The celebrations don’t stop there, there are smaller events spanning Miami to Mumbai — two cities that are also hotbeds of the movement.

If you’re a fan of the sleek lines, geometric motifs, gilded touches that are the hallmarks of Art Deco design, then the easiest way to relive the past is check into an Art Deco hotel. Here are some of the best addresses.

Claridge’s

London was one of the first stops of the Art Deco movement and you’ll find that charm alive and well at the revered luxury hotel, Claridge’s. The hotel boasts charming Art Deco details thanks to pioneering designer Basil Ionides, who redesigned the restaurant and some suites — his touch remains in the Foyer & Reading Room to this day.

During its heyday in the 1920s, this Mayfair haunt was loved by artists and aesthetes alike. Not much has changed — Claridge’s continues to regale guests, earning it the 11th spot in the World’s 50 Best Hotels list 2024. This year, the hotel is fully leaning into its Art Deco roots with a Salon Series, a program of complimentary talks at The Painter’s Room as well as signature recipes from The Cecil Beaton Cocktail Book served in original Lalique glassware at The Fumoir. If you want to go deep into its Art Deco back story, book some time with in-house Archivist Kate Hudson.

Le Bristol Paris

The Roaring Twenties was a time of extravagance, so it’s fitting that many luxury hotels flourished during the era. One that remains a highlight to this day is Le Bristol Paris, a landmark property that also marks its centenary in 2025. Over the decades, the hotel was a refuge for icons of fashion and art—Balenciaga, Chanel, Picasso, and Dalí among them—and even housed the American Embassy in Paris during the 1940s.

Described by Michelin Guide as “creamy Art Deco on the outside, and decadent 18th-century within”, the hotel is certainly a feast for the eyes. While it honors its storied past everyday, it keeps itself relevant with its flair for inventive collaborations, including an anniversary capsule collection with Sporty & Rich and a partnership with Maison Trudon, which gave rise to a new fragrance, Honoré.

The Shelbourne by Proper

Even before Art Basel made Miami a global art and design capital, its Art Deco heritage already earned it a place for those obsessed with artistry and creativity. And while having a hotel within a candy-coloured Art Deco building isn’t entirely new, none has been splashier as The Shelborne By Proper, which opened in May 2025.

Set in an instantly recognizable.1940s building on Collins Avenue, the hotel retains its 18th street facade and the well-loved poolside diving board. Transformed by ADC & Tuneu the 251-room hotel blends Miami Modernism with Art Deco flair, featuring an interplay of curves and sleek lines and peppered with pastel-hued marbles, warm wood and soft patterned fabrics. For those nostalgic for the Art Deco days but also craving a stay in the sun, The Shelborne By Proper is the place.

The Siam Hotel, Bangkok

If you’re looking for a stunning expression of Art Deco in the tropics, look no further than The Siam in Bangkok. Designed by the iconoclast Bill Bensley alongside creative owner Krissada Sukosol Clapp, it’s a treasure trove in every sense of the word. The setting is not an original Art Deco building, but its architecture and interiors embody the hallmarks of the movement including a striking black and white palette and a strong sense of symmetry.

Awarded two Michelin keys, this riverside escape is enclosed in greenery and also houses a remarkable collection of antiques. An urban retreat meets living museum, it’s worth going even just for a meal or a cocktail at the Chon Thai restaurant or The Story House.

The Carlyle Hotel

The Art Deco era coincided with the Jazz Age, and this union comes to life at The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, a much-loved property on New York’s Upper East Side. This legendary property first opened its doors in 1930 featuring impressive Art Deco interiors by Dorothy Draper, which have been rightfully preserved mthrough its many design refreshes.

For a true throwback, grab a table at Café Carlyle. Since 1955, the Manhattan restaurant has become a veritable institution, on the bucket list of jazz aficionados far and wide. Its programme is packed with legends — the likes of Tony Danza and Judy Collins are performing there this year — and guests often dress up for the occasion, creating a setting that looks like from a bygone era.
