Conde Nast Traveler calls its selection of 102 best new hotels in the world The Hot List. That means the dreamiest, coolest places to stay that live up to the pre-opening hype. Or as the magazine puts it: “Most of these openings are good. Many of them, great. But only a fraction are what we’d deem hot.”

Eleven hotels in California, mostly in Southern California, made the cut among U.S. locations. These are the California hotels on the Hot List.
