EDITORS’ CHOICE AWARDS
As the world reopened this year, we were delighted to indulge in our great passion: travel, with all the discoveries (and, indeed, the decadences) that come with it. We anonymously reviewed a refreshingly normal number of hotels, restaurants, guided tours and other travel experiences. Our annual Editors’ Choice Awards highlight the best from the past 12 months.
EDITORS’ CHOICE
HOTELS OF THE YEAR
Of the more than 100 we reviewed this year, these stood out the most. Each possesses a strong personality, a sense of place and a devotion to superior service.
