Condé Nast traveler readers choose the best hotels, resorts, cities and more – and the best destination spas in the world.
Condé Nast Traveller has announced the winners of its annual travel awards. The awards are among the most prestigious and influential in the hospitality world and are designed to highlight Travelers’ favorite places around the globe.
CN Traveler notes that its 33rd Readers’ Choice Awards represent the first time that voters chose their top destinations when almost no one was traveling. Addressing these travelers, the authors wrote:
“So the names in this year’s edition are the ones that brought you comfort, that you still connected with long afterward, that got you through the months without travel. These are the enduring gems that can withstand the test of time and the vicissitudes of circumstances. So while it is always an honor to be on this list, in this strangest of years it is a special honor, indeed. Many readers have told us that when we emerge from this pandemic, they want to turn their attention to the classics, whether that means personal favorites or places they know have brought joy to others.”
Hundreds of thousands of readers reportedly voted for their favorites which are divided into multiple categories. These include, but aren’t limited to, the best hotels and resorts in the world, the best airlines and the best islands, cities, and countries.
