The Hotel Garibaldi Blu opened in Florence at a great location on Piazza Santa Maria. Aimed at millennials (the theme of the hotel is jeans – like denim jeans, with a blue color scheme.) The property has 22 stylish rooms with vintage-style and retro furniture. The hotel is also connected to Hotel Rosso 23, its fashionable sister hotel. Rates start at $124 per night.

Another hotel catering to millennial tastes is the new Amba Charing Cross in London. The rooms (around $300 a night) are refurbished, have smart TVs, come with iPads, and the company also claims the hotel has “the world’s fastest, free unlimited Wifi.”

Belle Mont Farm in Kittian Hill, Saint Kitts is set to open Dec. 12. The design of the 91 rustic yet luxurious guesthouses (with cool outdoor showers) was inspired by traditional island homes. There is a golf-course, a spa, and a farm-to-table restaurant. Rooms start at $2,250 for double occupancy (including meals and certain amenities).

There’s another Nobu hotel coming! The company behind the original Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, announced plans for Nobu Hotel at Eden Rock Miami Beach. The newest brainchild of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa and Robert DeNiro will have a similar “hotel within a hotel” concept and is scheduled to open next year.
