EDITORS’ CHOICE AWARDS
This year's globe-trotting took us to 23 countries on five continents. We reviewed 75 hotels and over 100 restaurants, plus cruises, insider guided excursions and much more. This abundance made assembling our annual Editors’ Choice Awards issue, which encompasses the best of our discoveries in the past year, a real labor of love.
