Here’s a fun topic that I’ll share my thoughts on, and then I’m curious to hear how OMAAT readers feel — what are the best luxury hotel brands in the world? It goes without saying that there’s no right answer as to what the best hotel groups are, given that it really is dependent on the specific property and what you’re into. There’s such a lack of consistency between hotels in many brand portfolios that it’s really hard to know how and what to judge.
Below I figured I’d share my overall impressions of major luxury hotel groups, and I’ll put them into three categories:
I should also mention that of course many of the world’s very best hotels are fully independent, so I’m by no means suggesting that this list would cover all of the world’s top hotels.
