Announcing the Hot List Winners of 2024

Original source (on modern site) | Article images: [1]

It's inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List, our annual collection of the world's best new hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships, a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year's worth of traveling the globe—to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech, or sail aboard a beloved cruise line's inaugural Antarctic voyage—it's easy to see why we get attached. But this year's Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. It's certainly our most diverse, featuring not only a hotel suite that was once Winston Churchill's office, but also the world's largest cruise ship and restaurants from Cape Town to Bali. We were surprised and inspired by this year's honorees, and we know you will be too. These are the Hot List hotel winners for 2024.
