Earlier today, Tripadvisor announced the winners of its 2023 Travelers' Choice Best of the Best Hotel Awards.
For its 21st edition, the travel site once again studied 12 months of data from real travelers covering more than 1.5 million hotels, to determine travelers' highest-rated accommodations of the year from across the globe.
Taking in a high volume of 'above-and-beyond' reviews and opinions from within the online community over a 12-month period, the site says that each listed winner has passed a series of trust and safety standards, with fewer than one percent of its eight million listings being awarded 'Best of the Best'.

A second new subcategory for 2023 also spotlights relaxation: the Best Hotels with Spas. While many hotels aim to induce zen, none succeed quite like The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, the number one rated Spa Hotel.
This is the "highest" hotel in the world, so the views alone are worth visiting the spa on the 116th floor, which "redefines the urban spa experience".
