National Geographic Traveller (UK) has announced the winners of its annual Hotel Awards, celebrating the best new and improved hotels across the world.
From incredible levels of service to extraordinary design, the Hotel Awards acknowledge the latest tastemakers and game-changers in the business.
Each of the 12 categories has a winner and two runners-up, meaning a total of 36 hotels received recognition in this year’s awards.
The full results can be seen in the November 2024 issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK), on newsstands from 3 October.
Pat Riddell, editor of National Geographic Traveller (UK), said: “Across the world, there must be at least one new hotel opening every day somewhere.
“Through all the lodges, retreats, conversions and new-builds, we’ve found the very best of the new openings over the past year or so.
“The Hotel Awards 2024 reflects the boundless energy and ingenuity of an industry that has the ability to transform an empty shell into a home from home.
“Discover the revamped farmhouse in Morocco, a hip hotel in the Californian desert, the reinvention of a historic building in London, a remote retreat in Mexico and an eco-conscious pad in Santorini – and that’s just for starters.”
