These are the best places to stay in the world for 2024, according to Tripadvisor
Choosing your next vacation isn’t just about where you visit, but where you stay.
To help travelers book the vacation possible, Tripadvisor, one of the biggest online travel agencies, revealed its 2024 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards — including the list of the world’s best hotels.
The list ranks destinations that received a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over the past year — out of 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieved the milestone.
New York City is still one of the top tourist destinations in the world, so it’s no shock that three of the top stays in the US are right here in Manhattan: The Luma Hotel in Times Square, The Bryant Park Hotel and Casablanca Hotel by Library Hotel Collection, also in Times Square.
But although many people agree NYC is the greatest city in the world, none of its hotels made the list for the best stays on a global scale.
The top hotel in the world is the Hotel Colline de France in Brazil, according to Tripadvisor.
The luxurious stay was highly rated for its “sophistication and comfort” shown through its glamorous rooms and luscious spa.
The live piano music played at breakfast and complimentary sparkling wine were also nice touches.
“The hotel’s sensational design and warm atmosphere make it a unique choice for an elegant, yet cozy, getaway,” Tripadvisor said.

Travelers also raved about the variety of food options, including the in-room breakfast options and the poolside bar.
“A stylish atmosphere and attention to detail ensure a fab stay for you and your furry friend,” Tripadvisor said.
