9 Chic Hotels Inspired by the Film
Canaves Oia Epitome |
Santorini, Greece
Not blue. Not turquoise. Not lapis. Cerulean. At Canaves Oia Epitome, Miranda Priestly’s most iconic shade takes the form of glittering Aegean waters, Santorini domes and skies that feel heaven-sent. Perched above Ammoudi Bay, the secluded retreat blends whitewashed curves, volcanic-hued interiors and minimalist suites with private terraces and plunge pools. And sunsets arrive right on cue. If Miranda taught us anything, it’s that color carries influence, and here, cerulean shapes an entire destination.

Grand Hotel Victoria Concept & Spa |
Lake Como, Italy
Andy Sachs arrived at Runway as a “complete and utter disaster”—at least according to Emily Charlton. Enter Nigel Kipling, who made it his mission to change that, one Chanel boot and Jimmy Choo at a time, transforming her into someone who could finally spell Gabbana without hesitation. At Grand Hotel Victoria Concept & Spa, the Master Suite feels like it could be his natural habitat: a walk-in closet at its heart, surrounded by 100 square meters of Italian glitz. Here, getting dressed becomes its own performance—Lake Como on one side, couture-level possibility on the other. And with the destination set to feature in The Devil Wears Prada 2, the moment feels perfectly timed.

Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa |
Fasmendhoo Island, Maldives
Emily Charlton never made it to Paris. Between coughing fits, forgetting an ambassador’s name and being sent flying by a New York City taxi (Hermès scarves scattered across Manhattan), things didn’t exactly go to plan. But she did become first assistant—and a million girls would still kill for that job. Now it’s her turn to disappear somewhere far more serene. At Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa, overwater villas and private beach retreats offer private pools, Jacuzzis and endless Indian Ocean views. No bosses, no emails—just white sand, stillness and space to finally exhale. Consider it Emily in Paradise.

The Dorchester |
London, United Kingdom
“Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.” Clearly, Miranda never checked into The Dorchester. In the heart of Mayfair overlooking Hyde Park, the legendary hotel has spent over 70 years mastering the art of arrival. Led by florist Philip Hammond, each morning brings hand-picked blooms transformed into sculptural arrangements that drift through lobbies, adorn suites and define the Cake & Flowers boutique. Inside, 1930s Hollywood glamour meets English country house elegance with hand-woven carpets, rich fabrics and antique details. Here, florals are anything but predictable.

Delano Miami Beach |
Miami Beach, United States
Miranda and Miami have unfinished business. A little drizzle (read: hurricane), a canceled flight and twins’ recital logistics once turned the city into an unplanned obstacle course. An icon deserves an iconic stay—and the newly reimagined Delano Miami Beach (coming to Kiwi Collection soon) is just that. Following a landmark renovation, the acclaimed property returns in style. Since 1947, its Art Deco façade has defined the shoreline; today, soft minimalism meets midcentury opulence in light-filled spaces. With ocean view suites, two pools and a private members’ club, Miranda can finally get her Miami moment.
Le Bristol Paris |
Paris, France
After a day of being “grilled” by Miranda over belts that absolutely did not look the same, Andy comes home to boyfriend Nate—and finds comfort in something far simpler: a grilled cheese sandwich, made with what he distinctively notes is “like eight dollars of Jarlsberg.” At Le Bristol Paris, that same comfort is elevated to an art form. Beneath the hotel lies a spectacular cheese cellar, a fromagerie dedicated to refining and aging France’s finest selections, with 15 to 20 rotating cheeses and a signature tableside trolley experience. In between the Michelin-starred kitchens here, there’s still room for comfort cravings to feel perfectly considered.

The St. Regis New York |
New York City, United States
Emily’s instructions were clear: The Book must be delivered, no exceptions. You do not talk to anyone. You do not look at anyone. You deliver it, and you disappear. At The St. Regis New York (a real-life The Devil Wears Prada filming location), that level of discipline is immediately tested. In the Dior Suite, even a quick drop-off starts to feel like a style interruption. Inspired by Christian Dior’s Paris atelier, the 1,700-square-foot residence is all white-paneled walls, crystal chandeliers and dove grey, blush and silver-lilac tones. The Book would look at home here, posed against marble, gilded details and an original Bil Donovan illustration, making “invisible” feel like a very hard brief to follow.

Grand Hyatt Tokyo |
Tokyo, Japan
When Miranda wants her steak on her desk in 15 minutes, there’s no room for negotiation—only execution. The Oak Door at Grand Hyatt Tokyo answers that energy with precision: an famed steakhouse where wood-burning ovens, an open kitchen and perfectly marbled cuts turn urgency into theatre. From F1 Wagyu ribeye to signature Tomahawk steaks, every dish is designed to impress even the most exacting appetite. It’s exactly the kind of place you imagine Miranda would gravitate toward in Tokyo after a fashion show, where discipline and detail are simply the standard.

Hôtel Plaza Athénée Paris |
Paris, France
When Miranda decamped to Paris Fashion Week, there was only one address worthy of the occasion: Hôtel Plaza Athénée. The Haute Couture Suite takes that legacy even further, wrapping guests in the property’s signature shade of red—from fresh roses to the Instagram-famous courtyard umbrellas below. Set on Avenue Montaigne, where designer boutiques line the street like a front row, it’s a stay made for camera flashes. Add Eiffel Tower views and Paris at your window, and the scene practically styles itself.
