Putting together any “ best-of ” list is never an easy task . This was no exception in HOTELS Magazine ’ s inaugural “ 25x25 Top Hotels of the World ,” a list of some of the — we think — greatest hotels across the globe that you ’ ll find on the ensuing pages . We hope you will agree .
In our maiden voyage , we selected 25 of the top global cities and regions to make our choices — from London to Los Angeles , Bali to Barcelona . We called on our readers to nominate their favorites and then we — our editorial team — made the final decision on what hotel would be recognized as the top hotel in each destination .
Without favor and with a disinterested eye , and considering such variables as design , service , amenities and legacy , we think this list captures the spirit of hospitality and is a catalogue of just what we sought to present : the top hotels across the globe .
We appreciate all the nominees and a special thank you to all the winning hotels and general managers for your cooperation . Without further ado ... the 2023 list of the top hotels of the world .
