The best hotels and resorts in the world: The Gold List 2025
CNT Editors across the globe share their favourite places to stay
For decades, the editors of Condé Nast Traveller have been compiling this annual compendium of hotels we’ve discovered, or fallen in love with all over again. We highlight them not only for their beauty, comfort, or impeccable service, but also because we’ve developed deeply emotional relationships with them: these are the hotels we recommend to our friends, that we tell stories about later.

For decades, the editors of Condé Nast Traveller have been compiling this annual compendium of hotels we’ve discovered, or fallen in love with all over again.
