The 8 Best Hotels in India of 2025
This year's top hotels in India, as voted by Travel + Leisure readers, exemplify the extravagant aesthetics and luxurious service that make the country's hospitality industry one of the best in the world. Readers clearly have no problem picking favorites, with the top properties located mostly in major travel destinations like Mumbai, New Delhi, Jaipur, Udaipur, and Agra. They're also partial to homegrown brands: All of this year's winners are part of either Taj Hotels, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, or The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts, all founded in India. Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe—to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Nearly 180,000 T+L readers completed the 2025 survey. A total of more than 657,000 votes were cast across over 8,700 properties (hotels, cities, cruise lines, etc.). Hotels were classified as either resort hotel, city hotel, inn, or safari lodge based on their location and amenities, and they were specifically rated on the criteria below: Rooms/facilities Location Service Food Value For each characteristic, respondents could choose a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor. The final scores are averages of these responses. The luxurious Kohinoor Suite at The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this year's reader-favorite city hotels in India are split between the country's two most populous cities, Delhi and Mumbai. Taj Lands End, Mumbai (No. 2) is the perfect high-end option for business travelers, with many spaces for meetings and events—a natural fit for Mumbai, known as India's financial capital. But it's really the prime location on the edge of the Arabian Sea, next to Bandra Fort, that stood out. The winners in the capital include the stately The Leela Palace New Delhi (No. 3) on the edge of Chanakyapuri, the city's diplomatic enclave. Travelers raved about the friendly atmosphere—'the staff became extended family by the end of our stay,' wrote one reader—but it's also well-loved by locals. 'My family and I love going to the hotel for staycations, or even just for the excellent brunches,' another survey respondent wrote. Taj Mahal, New Delhi Classic meets contemporary at Captain's Cellar at the Taj Mahal, New Delhi. This 213-key hotel has become an icon in the capital in the nearly 50 years since it opened at 1 Mansingh Road. The property completed a major renovation in late 2023, which likely propelled it to making its first appearance on the list of India's best city hotels in 2024. And now, the Taj Mahal, New Delhi, has risen to the top. T+L readers especially loved its proximity to historic sites like the National Museum and Humayun's Tomb. In fact, one survey respondent wrote that the hotel has 'one of the best locations in Delhi,' also praising its 'amazing food, nice garden, and excellent service, as per the Taj standard.' 1. Taj Mahal, New Delhi Reader Score: 98.59 2. Taj Lands End, Mumbai Reader Score: 97.93 3. The Leela Palace New Delhi Reader Score: 97.40 Four of this year's top five resorts in India come from a single brand: The Oberoi Group. And four are located in the storied state of Rajasthan—including one in Jaipur, the capital, and two in Udaipur, sometimes referred to as India's 'city of lakes.' One of the Udaipur properties, Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur (No. 5), is even found among a lake—set on a small island within Lake Pichola and reached by private boat. 'The location is really like heaven,' wrote one survey respondent; another said their 'ridiculously high expectations were completely exceeded.' But one of the Rajasthani winners is unlike the others: The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort, Ranthambhore (No. 3), just outside Ranthambore National Park, is a sanctuary for the endangered Bengal tiger. The tented camp is a great home base for wildlife-spotting and visiting sites like the UNESCO-protected Ranthambore Fort, but with luxury comforts like clawfoot tubs and, in some rooms, private plunge pools. The No. 1-favorite is also an Oberoi property, but it's located in the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh—and is just a 10-minute walk from one of the country's most famous sites, the Taj Mahal. The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra A glimpse into The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra's Deluxe Suite. Some of the 95 rooms and seven suites at this palatial resort have views of the Taj Mahal: Agra's most famous attraction, which is also subtly referenced in the hotel's design. Readers were captivated by the property's 'beautiful architecture with great Mughal-era vibes,' as one survey respondent put it, referring to the domes, arches, fountains, and pristine gardens. But looks are just one of the reasons why the Oberoi Amarvilas came in at No. 1 for 2025, its first year in the top spot since 2018. For example, readers also loved the 'perfect location'—less than half a mile from Emperor Shah Jahan's famous tomb, builtd for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. 1. The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra WBA Hall of Fame honoree. Reader Score: 98.87 2. The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur Reader Score: 98.06 3.

The 15 Best Hotels in Canada of 2025
For Travel + Leisure readers, the best hotels in Canada may be on either end of the country—from British Columbia all the way to Nova Scotia—but there are two things they all seem to have in common: personalized service and tough-to-beat locations. Whether they're slopeside retreats, charming boutique getaways, or luxury properties in Canada's cultural hubs, these top-rated city hotels and resorts ensure their guests always come first. Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe—to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Nearly 180,000 T+L readers completed the 2025 survey. A total of more than 657,000 votes were cast across over 8,700 properties (hotels, cities, cruise lines, etc.). Hotels were classified as either resort hotel, city hotel, inn, or safari lodge based on their location and amenities, and they were specifically rated on the criteria below: Rooms/facilities Location Service Food Value For each characteristic, respondents could choose a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor. The final scores are averages of these responses. Scenic view of the Four Seasons Resort & Residences Whistler. Joe Thomas/Four Seasons Resort & Residences Whistler If there's one thing that can be said about our readers' shared hotel preferences, it's that they're drawn to some of the biggest names in hospitality. Nearly every single property on the list is either a Four Seasons, Fairmont, or Ritz-Carlton hotel; there's just two exceptions. Auberge Saint-Antoine (No. 6), a frequent World's Best Awards winner, was described by readers as an 'immaculate' hotel that has the 'perfect mix of luxury and convenience, with no pretension.' Another reader shared that the 'rooms are very clean, and each one is uniquely decorated,' and there's 'nothing 'cookie-cutter'' about the Quebec City property in general. Four Seasons Hotel Montreal worked its way up to No. 3 this year, rising above its previous rankings in both 2023 and 2024. One reader was impressed by nearly everything about the hotel: 'It's clean, the service [is] exemplary, the amenities are comprehensive, and the food is excellent.' Location is also a draw: it's within walking distance to most major attractions downtown, making it the ideal launching pad for anyone exploring the city. While a majority of this year's reader-loved hotels are found in Quebec or Ontario, there are three—including the winning hotel—in British Columbia. Scroll on for the full list and to see which one took the top spot, below. Fairmont Empress: Victoria, British Columbia The Lobby Lounge at the Fairmont Empress. Many readers reference location when singing the Fairmont Empress praises, but the winning combination is defined by more than just waterfront views overlooking the Inner Harbour. It also includes a bit of history—the original hotel, known as The Empress Hotel, opened in 1908—elevated design, and a reputation for stellar service. 'Visually, [it's] one of the most stunning hotels anywhere, and the staff is second to none,' said one reader. And don't let its age fool you: while the hotel feels connected to its roots, there's nothing stuffy or antiquated about it. The building underwent an extensive, more-than $60 million renovation in 2017, and there was another update—specifically to the brand's premium offering, Fairmont Gold—in 2023. '[I've] been around this incredible establishment my entire life, and it only keeps getting better,' a reader confirmed. [I've] been around this incredible establishment my entire life, and it only keeps getting better. — T+L Reader 1. Fairmont Empress: Victoria, British Columbia Reader Score: 94.44 2.

The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver: Vancouver, British Columbia Reader Score: 90.12 10. Fairmont Le Château Frontenac: Quebec City, Quebec Reader Score: 89.82 Canada is teeming with gorgeous coastlines, mountains, lakes, and forests—and our readers have a clear affinity for resorts within close proximity of these natural features. The Wickaninnish Inn (No. 3) is no exception; it received praise for its position at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, right on the northern end of Chesterman Beach. "Location, location, location,' noted a reader, who added that the 'crashing waves in winter storm season' are a highlight. Not to mention, the other side of the property faces a lush, ancient rainforest. On the opposite end of the country, Nova Scotia's Cabot Cape Breton impressed readers with its 'extremely attentive warm service, beautiful scenic grounds, and absolutely world-class golf.' One reader shared that the Atlantic Ocean-facing golf resort, which maintained its position at No. 5 this year, has a 'stunning location, easily the best in Canada.' Now, read on to see which hotel officially ended Manoir Hovey's (No. 4) multi-year streak as the best resort in Canada. Four Seasons Resort & Residences Whistler: British Columbia A cozy fire place is lit in the Four Seasons Resort & Residences Whistler lobby. Four Seasons Resort & Residences Whistler The Four Seasons Resort & Residences Whistler has been deemed a reader favorite hotel every year since 2020, but this is its first time taking the No. 1 spot. 'Staying at Four Seasons Whistler is an experience like no other; it really brought magic to our mountain experience,' shared a reader. That 'magic' likely stems, at least partially, from what another reader described as a '10-star' management team and the 'finest valet service in the world.' It could also be attributed to where the resort is located. Nestled at the base of Whistler Blackcomb, its rooms and suites are highly coveted during ski season, and also in the warmer months, when hiking and mountain biking are on the agenda. 1.

These Are the 15 Best City Hotels in the U.S.—and No. 1 Is a Surprisingly Quiet Spot on the Buzzy Las Vegas Strip
The best city hotels are mini destinations themselves. They might be found in dynamic locations with world-class museums, reputable restaurants, and endless things to do, but the hotels themselves have also curated experiences and amenities that encourage guests to spend more time on property—whether it's through interesting artwork, exquisite dining options, or flawless customer service. Based on the results from this year's World's Best Awards, Travel + Leisure readers prefer these types of well-rounded hotels, and also have an affinity for properties in Southern cities, especially Charleston, South Carolina. Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe—to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Nearly 180,000 T+L readers completed the 2025 survey. A total of more than 657,000 votes were cast across over 8,700 properties (hotels, cities, cruise lines, etc.). Hotels were classified as either resort hotel, city hotel, inn, or safari lodge based on their location and amenities, and they were specifically rated on the criteria below: Rooms/facilities Location Service Food Value For each characteristic, respondents could choose a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor. The final scores are averages of these responses. One thing was made very clear in this year's survey results: T+L readers appreciate service with a personal touch. Making a return to the best continental U.S. city hotels list—it was last featured in 2023—The Loutrel (No. 12) is one of five Charleston properties our readers rated highly. 'Everything about it screams subtle luxury, from the welcoming scent when you walk in to the well-appointed rooms and comfortable beds,' said one reader, adding that the downtown location is 'perfect' and the complimentary snacks, beverages, and breakfast make it an 'amazing value.' Another Southern favorite, Bowie House, Auberge Resorts Collection (No. 14) was applauded for its culinary offerings, expertly curated art and decor, and 'professional' and 'friendly staff.' According to one T+L reader, it's 'set the standard for luxury hotels in Fort Worth.' WBA Hall of Fame honoree The Jefferson, Washington DC (No. 2) remains a top choice for readers, many of whom reference its 'impeccable' service. One reader noted the staff 'goes above and beyond to make any request a reality,' while another deemed it 'one of the best hotels [they] have ever stayed at.' While all of the featured hotels are standouts in their own right, only one could top the list. Read on to see which city hotel came out on top this year. Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas Inside the penthouse suite at Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas. Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas Named the best hotel in Las Vegas by T+L readers in 2024, Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas has a stellar reputation as one of Sin City's most sophisticated, restful getaways. Even though it's conveniently located on the Strip, steps from the lights and sounds of casinos and buzzy nightlife, it's a serene escape with luxurious touches (like a full-service spa) at every turn. 'The Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas is a true gem on the Strip,' said one reader. 'From its stunning, non-gaming atmosphere to its breathtaking views and world-class amenities, every detail is meticulously designed for comfort and elegance.' One of those aforementioned amenities is the eighth-floor pool, which is more calm than clubby. Here, guests are treated to city vistas and attentive waiter service—as several readers attested, Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas is a property with 'friendly,' 'wonderful' staff and 'great hospitality.' From its stunning, non-gaming atmosphere to its breathtaking views and world-class amenities, every detail is meticulously designed for comfort and elegance. — T + L Reader 1.

These 100 Hotels Were Voted Best in the World by T+L Readers
Travel + Leisure readers don't need destination dupes—they're here for the greatest hits. Our reader-voted 100 best hotels of 2025 list boasts properties in 33 countries across five continents. From resorts that date back to the 19th century to the newly opened swish boutiques that shot straight to the top, these are the 100 best hotels of 2025 across the globe, according to our readers. How Voting Works Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe—to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Nearly 180,000 T+L readers completed the 2025 survey. A total of more than 657,000 votes were cast across over 8,700 properties (hotels, cities, cruise lines, etc.). Hotels were classified as either resort hotel, city hotel, inn, or safari lodge based on their location and amenities, and they were specifically rated on the criteria below: Rooms/facilities Location Service Food Value For each characteristic, respondents could choose a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor. The final scores are averages of these responses. What Readers Loved As T+L readers search for hotels that draw them in—with a rich backstory, entrancing interiors, and authentic, local experiences—they don't shy from trying a new stay: seven of the 100 best hotels of 2025 opened in the last two years. And yet, it's the exceptional service at tried-and-true favorites that turns curious travelers into return guests. For the second year in a row, only one U.S. hotel cracked the top 10, which is otherwise dominated by safari lodges (No. 1 andBeyond Bateleur Camp and No. 3 Mfuwe Lodge, The Bushcamp Company), as well as far-flung island resorts (Joali Maldives at No. 7 and newcomer Nay Palad in the tenth spot). Among the top 100 favorites from T+L readers, there are 18 U.S. hotels on this year's list, up from the 16 that placed last year. Of the U.S. stays, sprawling, remote resorts stood out—like Primland Resort, Auberge Resorts Collection, the 12,000-acre stay in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains (No. 8), and Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection (No. 54) in New York's bucolic Hudson Valley. But in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, a charming Northern California town, Villa Mara (No. 40) came back to once again rank in the top 50—a rarity for a relatively new and independently owned boutique hotel. As the U.S. winners hint, Auberge Resorts Collection had a phenomenal year, with eleven resorts on the list. Capella, voted the best hotel brand for the third year in a row, had three winners; Oberoi, also a favorite hotel brand among readers, received four nods. And yet, it's a luxury safari outfitter with 29 lodges and camps that nabbed the top spot in this fiercely competitive World's Best Awards category. Read on for a closer look at the top 100 hotels in the world, according to T+L readers. Top 100 Hotels T+L Hotel Values At Travel + Leisure, we know a hotel can make or break a trip. We love checking into a room with a fluffy white bed and a balcony with a view as much as our readers do. However, we also know a lot more than that goes into making a hotel experience truly special. The best hotels provide personalized service and thoughtful amenities, and have authentic interactions with their communities. Below, see all of the categories we consider when choosing a hotel to feature in a T+L article—and what our readers consider when voting in the World's Best Awards. Your vacation is as important to us as our own, and these are the same criteria we use when searching for hotel stays for ourselves. As your trusted travel source, we hope to help you find your new favorite home away from home. Rooms A great hotel room feels luxurious and stylish, but also functional (think: power outlets next to the bed, a full-length mirror, and a well-positioned TV). Since we don't like to feel cramped on vacation, space also wins us over: we want plenty of room to unpack and spread out—and we love a sizable bathroom (especially with a bathtub or rain shower). We expect cleanliness all around, and a comfortable bed that tempts us to stay a while. Of course, outdoor space and a great view go a long way. Amenities We believe hotel guests should feel pampered, not nickel and dimed. We prefer hotels with thoughtful amenities aimed at making our days and nights easier, like filtered water, Wi-Fi, and a good iron or steamer. We love when hotels go the extra mile and provide a stocked minibar, a welcome gift, and an outdoor shower or Jacuzzi. Extras like on-site laundry, a spa and gym, and a great concierge are likely to secure a spot on our lists. Location We look for hotels with locations that are convenient or spectacular (or both!), whether they're walking distance from a city's top sights or on a remote island with access to a pristine private beach. We always take the destination into account and think about our readers' intent — and try to pinpoint the ultimate home base in every travel situation. Service When it comes to connecting with a hotel and destination, personalized service is key. We love a knowledgeable local concierge who's excited to share insider recommendations and a welcoming staff that tends to every detail of a stay from start to finish. Above all, we want to make sure guests feel welcomed and taken care of. Food A good hotel restaurant can be a destination in its own right, and we're constantly on the lookout for notable chefs, buzzy collaborations, local ingredients, and downright delicious food that can be enjoyed without leaving the premises. Give us a room service option that maintains quality and we're there (no soggy waffles, even from bed, please). Figurative bonus points are awarded to hotel restaurants that add something new and exciting to a destination's existing culinary scene. Value While we often cover five-star, luxury hotels, we're also always thinking about value for the money spent at any price point. Will guests feel like they got what they paid for? Are valuable extras included in the fee? If there is a way to maximize a stay with rewards points or a chance to save on your booking, we'll tell you about it.

The 5 Best Cities in Canada of 2025
Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land mass, known for its varied geography, natural beauty, and its many distinct cultural identities. Its cities are just as diverse. This year's list of the best in Canada includes both small cities and major metropolises on both coasts, plus a couple on the grand Saint Lawrence River. While far-flung, these properties have at least one thing in common: all were chosen as favorites by Travel + Leisure readers last year, too. Clearly, they're as great as ever—keep reading for the 2025 winners. Cityscape of Historic Old Quebec City. Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Nearly 180,000 T+L readers completed the 2025 survey. A total of more than 657,000 votes were cast across over 8,700 properties (hotels, cities, cruise lines, etc.). Cities were specifically rated on the criteria below: Sights/landmarks Culture Food Friendliness Shopping Value For each characteristic, respondents could choose a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor. The final scores are averages of these responses. Four of the top five cities on this year's list are located between Quebec and British Columbia, including Montreal (No. 2) and Vancouver (No. 3), which have both moved up a slot since 2024. These major population centers continue to draw enthusiastic visitors with their diverse restaurant and hotel scenes and world-class arts and culture—but a few smaller cities also consistently rank among T+L readers' favorites. Take Halifax (No. 4), Nova Scotia's provincial capital, which one survey respondent described as ' the up and coming city in Canada.' Readers were surprised by its diversity of cultures and the beauty of the surrounding forests. Another provincial capital, Victoria, B.C. (No. 5), is a favorite on the West Coast for its stately British architecture and green spaces; many voters labeled Butchart Gardens, just outside the city, a must-visit. The No. 1 city in Canada this year, though, can sometimes seem like a world apart: As one reader noted, the culture, language, and architecture are so distinct that 'it feels like you're traveling 'far away.'' And that's absolutely part of the appeal. Quebec City A cobblestone street in Old Quebec City. Lauren Breedlove/Travel + Leisure Quebec City tops the list of reader-favorite cities in Canada for an impressive 10th year in a row. Readers loved its French architecture and winding streets, excellent food and shopping, and the evocative historic atmosphere of Vieux-Québec, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town. 'Quebec City really has to be seen in the winter,' one T+L reader recommended. 'When the Saint Lawrence River freezes over and the ice sculptures appear, it's a magical place.' Another survey respondent emphasized the rich cultural experience of visiting Francophone Canada: 'If you can't get to Paris, go to Quebec.' 1. Quebec City, Quebec WBA Super Hall of Fame honoree.
