2015 was another big year for us here at We Heart Towers, not least a complete overhaul of this very website. We changed our look, but also tonnes of functionality to boot; debuting our London City Guide, giving you our culture-led events listings, and plenty more. It was also a fine year for stories … art projects, ground-breaking hotels, public installations and a ruck of new design-led eateries from around the world.

We took to our Instagram account on New Year’s Eve to give a rundown of our most-viewed stories from 2015 — including a mix of the above, and more. For those not tuned into our ‘gram (why not?), here’s what you read most in the year just gone.

We're going one step further than the #2015bestnine, giving you our top 15 from '15. The most popular posts from we-heart.com this year (in no particular order).

Parisian beauty @hotelhenriette was surely the most fetching hotel to find its way to our pages in 2015. One of three hotels to have cropped up in our most popular posts of the year, our #15from15 continues.

Not short of Instagram love, San Fran bakery @mrholmesbakehouse killed it on here in 2015, and was by far the most popular American establishment on We Heart. #15from15

Mr Holmes Bakehouse, San Francisco

@boneyard_ldn might have put MEAT centre-stage, but it was its ramshackle design that had We Hearters in raptures this year … our most viewed London eatery by some distance. #15from15

Boneyard, Shoreditch

Almost there. A major new design opening for London, @clerkenwellldn debuted during #LondonDesignFestival, but its legacy will be long lasting … the most popular shop on We Heart’s digital pages in 2015. #15from15

Well that's it. It's either almost 2016, already 2016, or 2016 in a few hours. Time for our last #15from15: Casa Malca, Tulum, brought high art and Mexican beach shack vibes together, for one of our most viewed stories of the year.
