Their team of experts compiled a list of hotels, from the budget conscious to luxury.
The Points Guy (TPG) released the brand’s annual list of the most exciting, newly opened hotels that opened around the world this year. The list of fabulous properties is TPG’s longest to date and includes everything from over-the-top jetsetter favorites to under-the-radar tropical resorts and even budget-friendly points hotels.
This year’s list is the culmination of countless hours (and nights) of travel and research from TPG’s robust editorial team of hotel experts, and a global roster of contributors. The team considered hundreds of new hotels in the U.S. and abroad, assessing service, design, amenities, location and uniqueness of character. After visiting many of them personally, TPG eventually narrowed down the top contenders to just 37 distinctive properties that embody both the excitement of travel today and the major trends we’re following within the hospitality industry.
New hotels on the list are reinvigorating historic landmarks, like the stately Raffles London at the OWO, and reviving beloved classics like the reincarnation of the Regent Hong Kong and makeover of the iconic Kona Village, a Rosewood Resort in Hawaii.
