Hi everybody,

I think it has been a while since there has been a thread like this one (about the top global luxury hotels).

Everybody should share some of their best experiences and top hotels/resorts they've ever been too. Whatever they are from city hotels to
resorts to ski resorts.

Feel free to write a couple of hotels, or even just one 😄

To get started here is my list:
City Hotels:
1) The Peninsula Hong Kong
2) The Ritz Paris
3) Four Seasons George V
4) The Peninsula Bangkok
5) Four Seasons Florence
6) Connaught London
7) Aman Venice
8) Four Seasons New York
9) The Ritz Carlton Tokyo
10) The Peninsula Shanghai

Resorts:
1) Amanjiwo
2) Amanpulo
3) Amansara
4) Amanusa
5) Amanoi
6) Amanzoe
7) FS Tented Camp
8) Singita Boulders
9) Amankila
10) Cheval Blanc Maldives

Looking forward to reading your lists!
Alex 😄😄

Let's just all agree to disagree right now

What is "best" for me might not be "best" for another. So there is no definitive answer. Different strokes for different people. And we look for different things in luxury hotels. For example, I love great F&B in hotels and considered them important for my stay experience but can hardly bothered be with Spa.

On that note, people often put it into two separate categories - city/urban hotels and resorts. Since comparing between categories can be tough, I think there's a third category: iconic/heritage/palace hotels.

I agree with @QPRfan, @Aventine, @chinmoylad and @BENLEE .
We should divide this into more categories, so here we go:
Category #1 : City Hotels
Category #2 : Rural Hotels
Categoty #3 : Hotter Places
Category #4 : Colder Places
Category #5 : isolated and unusual places
Category #6 : Iconic/Heritage/Palace Hotels

Thanks for your help guys!

Also, I want to add, there is no reason for someone not to respect someones opinions. I think we should all fell free to express which hotels we think are the best.

wripro

Exactly. What's best for me may not be best for you.

A better heading might be "top hotels" instead of best.

George V and MO Bangkok.

We should also have a category that is "Hotels that people think are luxury, but really aren't". Maybe we have to break those into City/Resort/Rural etc.

Is it just me or is this thread alarmingly similar to:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/luxur...ot-missed.html

As opppsed to "THE Hotel That Must Not Be Named," I suppose?
