Travel should do more than simply move you around the planet. It should stir your soul. The Leading Hotels of the World is a curated collection of 400+ independent luxury resorts, chalets, safari camps, and more, where families of artisans who have greeted guests for generations are committed to creating story-worthy moments for those in search of the world’s most unique experiences.
Hailed as a who’s who of the globe’s most distinguished hotels, from modern towers dotting urban skylines to ecological wonderlands tucked deep into the rainforest, the collection is by far the most awarded—yet it’s the smallest moments that make the largest impression.
A call from a concierge to secure Rome’s most exclusive table. A drive into the South African bush to track a lion stalking its prey. A climb to a suite, carved into the cliffs of a caldera long ago, that now offers unparalleled views of the Aegean Sea.
Here, a bar is not simply a bar, a view not simply a view, but each a story to inspire your next great adventure. These are the stories our guests tell, the memories they keep and the experiences you can expect create when you journey amongst The Leading Hotels of the World.
