November 10thARGENTINA

From the team behind the beloved Único Hotels, comes Casa Lucia, the brand’s first property beyond Spanish borders, opening its doors in January 2024. A love letter to Argentina’s capital, Casa Lucia is set on the storied and stylish Calle Arroyo within the Edificio Mihanovich, a building that was once the tallest in Latin America and designed to offer spectacular views of the Río de la Plata. Bringing together the latest creative talent from local design houses such as South American design firm Fernanda Schuch Studios and renowned Argentine artist and designer Cristián Mohaded, the hotel’s historic roots work in juxtaposition with sleek furnishings and contemporary art. Many of the 142 dazzling rooms and suites have balconies with outdoor showers, sun loungers, outdoor dining and spectacular views across the city. Poised to introduce a new culinary destination to Buenos Aires, Casa Lucia will open with Cantina Restaurant, a vibrant new hotspot drawing inspiration from authentic Argentine aromas and flavors, whilst capturing the essence of the land with fresh, local ingredients. Next door, Le Club Bacan, a spirited cocktail bar helmed by Cocktail Advisor Martín Suaya, will bring an energetic new gathering place for locals and travelers alike to the fashionable Recoleta neighborhood. It will offer over 400 varieties of Argentine wine curated by Master Sommelier Aldo Garcia and music from Buenos Aires’ best DJs. Complete with a state-of-the-art spa, gym, and pool, Casa Lucia will set a new standard for hospitality in the capital city. Arriving early 2024.

SIBBJÄNS ARRIVES ON GOTLAND, SWEDEN

SIBBJÄNS ARRIVES ON GOTLAND, SWEDEN

SIBBJÄNS ARRIVES ON GOTLAND, SWEDEN

A REGENERATIVE FARM STAY SHAPED BY SEASONS, FRIENDSHIP AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

Sweden

Sibbjäns began quietly, the combined dream of Jonas Nordlander and Sanna Rönn, who with close friends and many meaningful couples Pontus and Kina Zeidler share a life between Stockholm and Gotland. Over the past four years, they have steadily transformed this former horse farm into a regenerative stay that feels singular to anywhere else in Scandinavia.

After a soft opening in 2025 for friends and family, the farm stay now enters 2026 as its first full season, opening more intentionally to a like-minded global community drawn to nature, food, and thoughtful design.

 

A PLACE TO REST

 

22 individually designed rooms sit across the Hotel and ‘The Bunkhouse,’ each named after important women in the family and among their friends. Adorned with classic Scandi touches of sheepskin throws, limewashed walls, soft palettes, and contemporary art, the spaces are designed for comfort.

Buildings are framed by wildflowers and constructed using traditional methods, much of the work completed by hand, with local craftsmanship central to the process. Architect Maja Berg has been a key contributor, working alongside Erik Larsson, a Master of Gotlandic Craft Heritage, who built some of the original buildings himself and continues to pass on traditional building knowledge to the next generation.

THE KITCHEN FOLLOWS THE FARM

At the heart of Sibbjäns is a working farm home to hens, Mangalitza pigs, horses, and sheep, with agriculture guiding both the kitchen and the guest experience.

In the gardens, lead gardener and local Karin Winarve brings a quiet hand to what thrives here across meadows, vegetable beds, and fruit-growing plots. Produce is grown on-site and harvested seasonally, forming the backbone of a true farm-to-table approach—one that pauses entirely during the winter months when the land rests.

 

EXPERIENCES & ‘VIKING WELLNESS’

New for the 2026 season, wellbeing at Sibbjäns is restorative rather than prescriptive. Inspired by Nordic traditions and the physicality of outdoor life, the evolving wellness offering includes:

  • A hand-built yoga barn

  • A wood-fired sauna

  • An outdoor gym

  • Recreational spaces

  • The beginnings of what will become one of the world’s most beautiful tennis courts.

The surrounding landscape invites guests to engage with nature on its own terms, from cycling or horse riding across open farmland to kitesurfing along Gotland’s windswept coastline (widely regarded as one of the finest spots in Europe for the sport). This is ‘Viking wellness’ in spirit—elemental, grounding, and quietly transformative.

 

SWEDEN’S ‘SUNSHINE ISLAND’

Gotland is Sweden’s sunniest destination, known for its distinctive light, limestone landscapes, and strong ‘right to roam’ ethos. Open from Easter through to Christmas and closed entirely during the dark winter months, Sibbjäns follows the natural calendar rather than resisting it.

Reaching it is part of the journey:

  • A short flight from Stockholm to the island’s capital of Visby, followed by a drive across the island.

  • A ferry crossing that reinforces the sense of arrival somewhere distinct and deliberately unhurried.

  • For those preferring a more direct approach, arrival by helicopter is also possible.

At its core, Sibbjäns remains a place for friends old and new built slowly, grounded in nature, and designed to endure.
