Who awards it
The World's 50 Best Hotels
An academy of some 800 anonymous voters (hoteliers, journalists and seasoned travellers) split across global regions.
Each voter casts seven votes for hotels stayed in over the previous two years, at least three of them outside their home region. Votes are audited and produce an annual ranked list.
