The best hotels and resorts in the world: The Gold List 2025

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. And this year, for the first time, we’re telling those same stories in video form, too. Below are the best hotels and resorts in the world, according to our editors.

Travel Trends 2025: What's Hot And What's Not In The Future Of Travel

In 2024, travel trends were a mix of escapism and edginess. While some travellers seized the opportunity to visit the shooting locations of their favourite Netflix shows, others tried to limit their dopamine sources to join the social media-fueled ‘raw-dogging’ bandwagon. As concerns about overtourism grew, travellers began seeking out lesser-known alternatives, embracing the ‘destination dupe’ trend. The year also witnessed a surge in interest in celestial wonders, with the aurora borealis putting on a spectacular show. As travel trends continue to shape our wanderlust, 2025 promises to be no exception.

onion expands nature-inspired resort with pool villas atop thai mountains

Interior design and architecture studio Onion completes the second phase of Sala Khao Yai in Thailand and expands on the original resort, incorporating three types of villas: a three-bedroom Pool Villa, two Pool Villa Suites, and two Pool Villas. Situated on a mountaintop, the design of the development offers sweeping vistas of the country’s National Park. The masterplan prioritizes the orientation of buildings, maximizing natural light, wind flow, and views of sunrise or, in the case of the three-bedroom Pool Villa, a 360-degree panorama.

The 100 Most Incredible Hotels in the World in 2025

What makes compiling a list like Fodor’s Finest Hotels such a daunting task is the outrageous number of hotels worldwide. The United Nations World Travel Organization has estimated that there are roughly 700,000 hotels in the world–from hostels to uber-luxury. Other estimates suggest the number is closer to 1 million properties–and some believe there are even more. And while there seems to be no definitive answer, one thing is certain: that’s a lot of options.
