Each spring, our team curates the Hot List, showcasing the world’s top new hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships. After a year of travel that took us to unique destinations such as a converted farmhouse in Marrakech and an inaugural Antarctic voyage, we are proud to present our most diverse selection yet. This year’s Hot List features a hotel suite once used by Winston Churchill, the world’s largest cruise ship, and restaurants ranging from Cape Town to Bali. We are excited for you to experience the surprises and inspiration that these honorees have in store.
Our team of editors carefully selected these winning options independently. If you choose to book any of these options through our provided retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission. We hope you enjoy exploring this year’s Hot List and making your travel plans accordingly.
