In third spot was Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, in South Male Atoll of the Maldives. Other revered destinations that were in the Top 10 included Marrakech, Paris, New York, Madrid and Bali.

Sydney did however place first in the Best Cities in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific , with its score of 86.40 slightly ahead of Hobart on 85.00. Also in the top 5 were Queenstown, NZ (83.59), Melbourne (82.70) and Auckland (82.52).

Within the same region, the Fiji Islands (92.38) were well clear of Moorea, French Polynesia (90.24) in the Best Islands category, followed by Bora Bora, French Polynesia (87.70), the Great Barrier Reef Islands (86.90) and Tahiti, French Polynesia (83.33).

Some other interesting observations LATTE noted:

• Oberoi Hotels & Resorts had the most number of properties in the 100 Best Hotels in the World for 2022, with six. Taj Hotels & Resorts had five, while Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, Auberge Resorts Collection and Shangri-La each had three.
• The only property in the Oceania region to feature in the 100 Best Hotels in the World was Fiji’s Namale Resort, Savusavu – positioned at 59th. Namale was the #1 Best Resorts in the South Pacific , followed by three ultra-luxury hotels in Bora Bora and in Tahiti, French Polynesia.
• Last year’s top hotel, with a score of 99.73, Virgin Limited Edition’s Mahali Mzuri in Kenya’s Masai Mara did not appear in the 2022 results, and missed out on a spot in the Top 10 Best Safari Lodges in Africa (which did include two other properties in Kenya).
• The USA had the highest number of properties in the 100 Best Hotels in the World, with 19 properties (a market where most votes in the poll would have derived, being a US-based publication, and the thriving domestic tourism travel scene due to the pandemic). India and Italy both had 11 properties.

The Ultra-Luxury Hospitality Brand’s Beloved Italian Escape, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, Named the #1 Hotel in the World on the Publication’s List of the Top Travel Experiences

July 13, 2022

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts and 13 of the ultra-luxury brand’s unique properties have been honored by Travel + Leisure’s 27 th annual World’s Best Awards, one of the industry’s most respected resources and an arbiter of exceptional hospitality experiences across the globe. This year’s awards program is especially meaningful for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, as Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, the brand’s sophisticated and iconic estate in Tuscany, Italy, has earned the list’s top global distinction of “Best Hotel Overall.” Other impressive property performances include the number one rankings of Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, Rosewood San Miguel de Allende and Rosewood Villa Magna in their respective destinations of Santa Fe, Mexico, and Madrid. Additionally, Rosewood ranked number nine in the category of “Best Hotel Brands,” up an impressive six spots over last year’s ranking of number 15. The rankings are based on the first-hand experiences and reviews of Travel + Leisure’s sophisticated readers, which are gathered in an annual survey.

“Every year we anticipate the results of Travel + Leisure’s prestigious World’s Best Awards, bestowed by the magazine’s discerning and worldly readers. To have Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco named the number one hotel in the world this year is surreal, and a great moment of pride for our brand ,” said Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “Throughout Rosewood’s history, our associates have worked tirelessly to enhance and evolve the guest experience, and these significant recognitions are a testament to their success. We thank the readers of Travel + Leisure for their support and remain committed to providing them and fellow travel enthusiasts with experiences that are authentic, original, and deeply personal, across all corners of the world.”

The 2022 World's Best list showcases numerous accolades for the Rosewood ® brand, most notably that of Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, which was not only awarded the global title of “Best Hotel Overall,” but also recognized as the “Best Resort Hotel, Europe” and “Best Resort Hotel, Italy.” Situated in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Val d’Orcia, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco is dedicated to preserving the art and heritage of its 800-year-old estate by fostering an appreciation of the deeply-rooted Tuscan traditions of art, cuisine, winemaking, and craftsmanship. This dedication is seen through the property’s unique programming, design, and amenities, all of which make it truly beloved by guests and visitors.

Rosewood’s full scope of recognition on the 2022 World’s Best list is as follows:

• #9, “25 Best Hotel Brands”
• #1, “10 Best Resorts in Italy”
• #1, “15 Best Resorts in Europe”

• #3, “10 Best Hotels in Washington, D.C.”

The Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards program is a leading barometer of the places and companies that satisfy some of the most passionate and discerning travelers across the globe. The results are determined by a survey developed by the editors of Travel + Leisure , in association with research firm M&RR, that invites the publication’s readers to rate their travel experiences in various categories including airlines, airports, cities, cruise ships, destination spas, hotels, hotel brands, islands, tour operators and more. The survey was open for four months and promoted across Travel + Leisure’s many platforms, including the print magazine, tablet editions, newsletters, social media and travelandleisure.com. Respondents were asked to rate a wide range of hospitality brands and offerings on several characteristics, selecting a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average or poor across each category, which were then accumulated and averaged to determine the final scores. The full list of 2022 World’s Best Awards can be found at https://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/worlds-best-2022 .  

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ success during this year’s iteration of Travel + Leisure’s World's Best Awards further demonstrates the strong affinity and trust that the brand has garnered with the world’s most affluential explorers. These accolades come amidst an exciting period of growth for Rosewood, including the opening of the brand’s first property in South America, the highly celebrated Rosewood São Paulo in January 2022, and the upcoming debut of Rosewood Vienna, slated for August 2022. With an impressive pipeline of additional exciting developments, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts continues to expand its portfolio and to offer travelers even more opportunities to enjoy the Rosewood experience, worldwide.

Preferred Hotels & Resorts Included In 2022 World’s Best Hotels

Pendry chicago.

Preferred Hotels & Resorts is celebrating more than 50 member hotels recognized on this year’s list, including five properties that were honored in the “Top 100 Hotels in the World.” After a remarkable conversion of an iconic Art Deco landmark on Michigan Avenue, Pendry Chicago (#1 Chicago, #25 (tie) world) burst onto the scene with lavish public spaces, stunning guestrooms, a bright and airy brasserie on the ground floor, cheekily named Venteux (windy in French), and an intimate rooftop space where guests can rosé all day

Riggs Washington DC

In another recently renovated space, Riggs Washington DC (#1 Washington, D.C., #31 (tie) world) reimagined the historic Riggs National Bank Building and celebrates its glorious past with a lower-level bar in the original bank vault and a playful reminder in every guestroom and suite of the building’s history. Each of the First Ladies’ Suites, inspired by the idiosyncrasies of four remarkable first ladies, has a personality of its own. Ida McKinley’s passion for flowers is evident in the lavish pink and purple suite that bears her name.

Finca Cortesín Hotel, Golf & Spa

Regularly appearing on “best of” lists published by globally-renowned publications, luxury travel organizations, and guest review sites, Finca Cortesín Hotel, Golf & Spa (# 1 Spain and Portugal, #44 world) is a unique resort located in a secluded enclave on the Andalucia coast. Two of the Mediterranean’s most important marinas, Puerto Banús and Sotogrande, are just a short drive away. So if you wish to arrive by sea, a member of the hotel staff will happily greet you. Expansive gardens, a luxurious spa with exquisite Thai treatments, four pools, a tennis club, world-class golf, a spectacular beach club, superb dining options, and serene, elegant accommodations create an unrivaled atmosphere and an unforgettable experience.

Grand Hotel Tremezzo

Another frequent award winner, Grand Hotel Tremezzo (#4 Italy, #53 world) is a masterpiece of design and hospitality that has been welcoming high society to its shore on Lake Como since 1910. This grand Belle Époque palace standing tall on the shores of the lake treats guests to elegant accommodations overlooking the lake or the lavish private park, three magical pools, a lakeside private beach, five distinct bars and restaurants – from formal to relaxed – where every dish is a show stopper, and a spa that is a transcending oasis of wellness.

Rancho Santana

Surrounded by an unspoiled dry rainforest, home to howler monkeys and sloths, Rancho Santana (#1 Central America, #56 world) is a 17-guestroom boutique hotel spread out over 2,700 acres of rolling hillsides on Nicaragua’s pristine Emerald Coast. Two miles of sunset-facing beaches ideal for surfing, unique farm-to-table culinary experiences, an expansive family pool, and a 6,000-square-foot spa and wellness sanctuary – think yoga overlooking the Pacific Ocean – make this an ideal wellness destination. All of the history and beauty of Nicaragua are within easy reach through an extensive menu of guided tours.

Announcing the Hot List Winners of 2024

By CNT Editors

It’s inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List , our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, restaurants , and cruise ships , a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year’s worth of traveling the globe—to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech, or sail aboard a beloved cruise line’s inaugural Antarctic voyage—it’s easy to see why we get attached. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. It’s certainly our most diverse, featuring not only a hotel suite that was once Winston Churchill’s office, but also the world’s largest cruise ship and restaurants from Cape Town to Bali. We were surprised and inspired by this year’s honorees, and we know you will be too. These are the Hot List hotel winners for 2024.
