4. Hotel: @1hotels, 143K followers

1Hotels claims to be the first mission-driven luxury hotel brand, inspired by nature. Their feed certainly alludes to an oasis in the city. Currently, in New York and Miami, greenery is the main theme throughout both hotels. Focusing on light and bright imagery with green running throughout, their grid builds a strong brand identity. It is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise polluted environment.

5. Restaurant: @lebernardinny, 177k followers

Le-Bernardin is an impressive and progressive restaurant in New York. The concept of the restaurant revolves around fish; ‘The fish is the star of the plate’, the tagline for the establishment. Their instagram follows this, with a clear, clean aesthetic. Each image is largely white, with a strong pop of colour in the centre. The images are captured in a way that the fish is always the star of the plate. If you zoom out, the grid appears to be made up of just fish due to the pale backgrounds.
