Condé Nast Traveler Gold List hotels

94 houses in 39 countries hold this distinction.

Who awards it

Condé Nast Traveler Gold List

The magazine's own editors and contributing correspondents, not readers.

An annual editorial selection of the hotels the editors themselves would return to, judged on design, service, sense of place and the quality of a repeat stay rather than on a score.

What it does here

A place on this list changes no grade. It orders houses within one, and it is the only one of the three that is an editorial pick rather than a vote.
