The World’s Best Hotels… Or The Most Expensive

April 2nd, 2008 Olga Pizza Posted in Hotels, Romantic Travel |

This is the list of the hotels which are considered to be the best in accordance with Conde’ Nast Traveler’s 20th annual Readers Choice Awards survey. So, let’s check whether we also adore them

Oberoi Udaivilas, Rajasthan, India

You should visit this hotel just in order to admire the views of the Lake and Palaces. It is not the only point of interests there. Among the great variety of miracles, this hotel offers you to enjoy wildlife even without leaving its territory. The birds from the Pool Suites make it understandable why this hotel wins prizes. On the whole, it is the best place for honeymoon or romantic travel. Pet owners and families with young children will not feel there at ease. The room costs about $618.

Table Bay Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa

At last we are talking about the hotel which can’t be called an amazing place for honeymoon. This place is created just for tourists who adore comfort and want to have a good place to stay while their visit to this country. Try and ask for the room which looked out on the Waterfront harbor, as well as Table Mountain. It is really unusual to see cruise ships and warships so near from your balcony. The apartment will cost you $548 approximately.

La Scalinatella, Capri, Italy

It is not just a hotel, but a private club. Most people are regular visitors there. They stay in the same rooms not less than for two weeks. The staff also never changes. So, everybody knows one another. That’s why it is not the best place for those who come there for three days or so. Especially if you come alone, you may feel like an outsider there. It is the best place for those who want to relax without children, cell phones and busy people. The price is not so high in comparison with others - $524

The Peninsula, Hong Kong

Well, this hotel gets different reviews. Some people call it amazing and fabulous, others suppose that service could be much better. If you adore shopping and various spa procedures, this hotel was created just for you. I don’t recommend this place for pet owners. This is the cheapest hotel in our list - $510

Burj Al Arab, Dubai

Of course, we can’t miss this famous place. You know, the more we expect, the less we achieve. Such a statement may be related to visitors of this hotel. Most reviews are not so ideal as we get to used to. People want to get better service and amusement for such money. But still this hotel is considered to be one of the most luxurious one… and the most expensive ($2071). Everyone agrees that it is the best place for romantic week-end. Sea and sun seem to be more pleasant there

Four Seasons George V, Paris

So, here we are with the European hotels. This place is the best for those who adore everything classic. Adore everything prefect? Four Seasons George V seems to be ideal for everyone. Amazing building in combination with a lot of flowers make it look like a wonderful castle. So, let’s join this fairy-tail! Though the prices are rather high - $1268

Banyan Tree, Phuket, Thailand

Tastes differ. And this hotel has various controversial reviews. Someone calls it “the most wonderful place in the world”, others prefer not to visit it again… never. As they say: “Amazing views are not enough” But still this hotel has no limits concerning people who can feel at ease there. Family travel, romantic week-end or good holiday for older travelers. Everyone can have a great week-end for $771.

Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra, India

This is the second leader in this list. But only if you prefer travels which are connected with historical sights. This hotel is appropriate for any category of visitors. So, older travelers as well as young people will be satisfied with its service… and architecture for $641 per night.

Four Seasons Gresham Palace, Budapest

This hotel is not very attractive as for me. I adore sun, sandy beaches and incredible views. But still Four Seasons Gresham Palace is the only hotel which has got no negative reviews recently. Of course, it may be connected with the character of people who visit it. As a rule, this hotel is used for business meetings, so it is not recommended for spending family vacations as well as honeymoons there. The price is not so high for our list - $630.

Of course, not all of us are able to visit these places for such prices, but still isn’t it interesting to find out what are the things you should strive for… or just admire.
