Best New Hotels In The World
Meredith Corporation’s Travel + Leisure released its 15th annual It List, a selection of the top new and renovated hotels in the world. The list is available on TravelandLeisure.com and in the March issue, available on newsstands February 21.
Each year, Travel + Leisure editors scout hundreds of new hotels around the globe in pursuit of those that offer a special, holistic experience based on location, ambiance, service, and amenities. The editors collaborate with Travel + Leisure’s global network of expert travel writers and agents to narrow the list.
“The beauty of staying at a hotel is that you can drop both your physical and emotional baggage and be the best version of yourself,” said Jacqueline Gifford, Editor in Chief of Travel + Leisure. “With over 70 honorees—including a Loire Valley château and a series of lodges in Bhutan—our annual It List is packed with hotels that make you feel spoiled, nurtured, and seamlessly connected to the outside world.”
