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.
