Best of the Rest

  • Best Luxury Hotels: For travellers after the ultimate indulgence, this list recognises places with above-and-beyond hospitality and amenities for days. Also, the No.1 Top Hotel for 2023, Rambagh Palace in India, is the No 1 Luxury Hotel worldwide. In Singapore, the No. 1 ranked Luxury Hotel this year is Capella Singapore
  • Best Small Hotels: Small hotels can make a big impression–none more so than the winners of this category, highlighting travellers’ favourite hotels with 30 rooms or less. White House Hotel in Istanbul takes the top spot in the world for the second consecutive year. Closer to home, the No. 1 ranked Small Hotel in Asia is Adiwana Monkey Forest in Ubud, Indonesia.
  • Best Family-Friendly Hotels: Planning a family getaway can be difficult enough. To take some of the pressure out of planning, Tripadvisor spotlights the best stays offering fun stuff for kids, plus all the perks for parents. No 1 in the world is Ikos Andalusia in Spain. In Asia, the No. 1 winner is Premier Village Danang Resort in Vietnam. It is also No. 7 in the world, the only Asian hotel awarded among the top 10 best in the world.
  • Best B&B and Inns: Great hospitality doesn’t always mean massive resorts; sometimes, the best stays are a cosy bed and breakfast. Last year’s favourites reign supreme: The Toulson Court in Scarborough, United Kingdom, takes the No. 1 spot in the world for the second year in a row. The Darien Resort located in Ramnagar tops the list, No.1 in Asia and in India.
  • Hottest New Hotels: As the hospitality industry continues to rebound, many new hotels have opened their doors, and OBLU SELECT Lobigili in the Maldives ranks No. 1 in the world. This 5-star resort, exclusively for adults, features nature-inspired designs that bring to life a secluded, castaway feel.
  • Out-of-the-Ordinary Hotels: Those looking for more bucket list adventures and Instagram-worthy photo-ops can explore Patagonia Camp in Chile, which is No. 1 in the world. Located within Torres del Paine National Park, this is the first luxury camp in South America with a chic collection of glamorous Yurts.
  • Best Hotels with Spas: Another new category for 2023. While many hotels aim to induce zen, none succeed quite like The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, the No 1 rated Spa Hotel. This is the “highest” hotel in the world, so it’s worth visiting the spa on the 116th floor for the views alone.
  • BestAll-Inclusive Hotels: For the hotels that hold everything you could ever need (and more), all in one place, Ozen Reserve Bolifushi in the Maldives is No.1 in the world.
  • Best Hotels for Sleep: For travellers seeking out sweet dreams, Dromoland Castle Hotel in Ireland is rated No 1 in the world in this inaugural category. Welcoming guests since the 16th century, this grand hotel is tucked away in 450 acres of land.
