2026, the Year of the Horse, carries the energy of movement, change, and bold action. This editorial invites you to say yes to journeys long imagined and experiences waiting to be lived. Featuring 26 Room + Wild destination hotels, each rooted in its geography and culture, the guide explores places that offer more than escape. These hotels open doors to new landscapes, ways of living, and perspectives, reminding us that intentional travel has the power to reshape how we see the world and how we move through it.
Land, Water, Sky: A Taste of Place with The Botanist Gin explores how landscapes shape our emotions, movements, and sense of belonging. Through Room + Wild’s elemental pillars—land, water, and sky—we discover how place grounds, renews, and inspires us. In collaboration with The Botanist Gin, crafted at B Corp certified Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay, we’ve created cocktails and pairings that capture the spirit of these elements. Infused with 22 hand-foraged botanicals, The Botanist reflects a shared commitment to sustainability, stewardship, and celebrating the beauty of nature through taste and experience.
