Every spring, our team compiles the Hot List, which highlights the world’s best new hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships. With a year of travel under our belts, visiting unique destinations like a converted farmhouse in Marrakech or sailing on an inaugural Antarctic voyage, it’s no wonder that we feel each year’s list is the best one yet. But this year’s Hot List truly stands out as our most diverse selection yet, featuring a hotel suite once used as Winston Churchill’s office, the world’s largest cruise ship, and restaurants spanning from Cape Town to Bali. The surprises and inspiration we found in this year’s honorees make us confident that you will be just as enthralled.
These are the Hot List hotel winners for 2024, chosen independently by our editors. If you decide to book any of the options featured in this list through our provided retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.
