NEW YORK The COVID-19 pandemic cut the connections between people and emptied the spaces they met. For award-winning architect and theater designer David Rockwell, it struck at the very heart of his work.
From designing KAOS Nightclub in Las Vegas to transforming Los Angeles’s historic Union Station at the Oscars, creating spaces where people gather has always been the focus. Now that idea was actually dangerous.
During his first Zoom meeting with newly remote members of his 250-person staff, Rockwell began with some grim humor against a backdrop of a frightened, locked-down city.
“I opened up by saying, ‘Well, here’s the good news: At least we don’t depend on creating experiences to bring people together for a living.’ There was a sort of silence and I said, ‘I’m joking. Actually, that is what we do. So we need to figure out ways we can do that.’”

The Best New Restaurants in the World: 2021 Hot List CNT Editors © MICHAEL PERSICO/Courtesy Laser Wolf, Philadelphia
This year’s annual Hot List of the best new hotels from around the world is a story of resilience. Despite enormous hardship in the travel industry, exceptional properties have continued to open across the globe (nearly a thousand last year in the U.S. alone). As always with this endeavor, each of the 69 picks on this year’s list was safely vetted by our international network of correspondents. But as we’ve learned in the past year, everything is connected, which is why we’ve also expanded the scope of hot to include restaurants, transportation, and destinations, as well as more news we’re excited about set for later this year. In spite of it all, these new restaurants are a success story all their own. We think they’re a pretty great way to mark the 25th anniversary of this list.
