Discover the World’s Best Hotel Brands

Oman, Vietnam, and the Seychelles are just a few of the breathtaking locations featuring properties from the World’s Best hotel brand. Consequently, there has never been a more opportune moment to utilize your points or miles for a first-class experience at a Six Senses resort. “They have a great balance of luxury, relaxation, great food, and social responsibility,” noted one satisfied traveler about this debut winner, which boasts 11 properties globally. “The locations they have chosen are simply amazing.”

Annual Awards and Recognition

Every year for the World’s Best Awards survey, iBestTravel invites readers to share their insights and experiences traveling all over the globe. Readers evaluate hotel brands based on their locations, rooms, amenities, food, service, and overall value, ensuring a comprehensive view of what makes a hotel exceptional.

Expanding Horizons

The largest property in the Six Senses portfolio is the 113-room Six Senses Qing Cheng Mountain in Chengdu, marking the brand’s inaugural entrance into China. Expansion plans include new destinations in Fiji and Cambodia, and loyal readers are keenly anticipating the opening of five luxury lodges in Bhutan later this year.

Favorite Destinations of Travelers

Clearly, remote locales captivate our readers rather than deter them. Notably, the winners this year also feature India-based Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, Leela Palaces, Hotels & Resorts, and Alila Hotels & Resorts— a brand renowned for its properties in China, Indonesia, and the Middle East. One reader applauded the Alila Jabal Akhdar, an 86-room resort nestled 6,500 feet high within the Al Hajar mountains of Oman, stating, “This hotel combines luxury with adventure, walking, and hiking.”

Urban Experiences that Stand Out

In the realm of urban properties, readers have once again chosen the Peninsula Hotels, which is celebrated for its intuitive service. Moreover, Rocco Forte Hotels, known for its elegant city hotels in European destinations such as Berlin, London, and Florence, also received accolades. “We love the Hotel de Russie,” remarked one traveler about this Rocco Forte property, which was named the top hotel in Rome this year. “The concierges are amazing, and we consider it a home away from home.”
