The world of travel gathered from all corners of the globe to celebrate each other\u2019s achievements at the announcement of The World\u2019s 50 Best Hotels 2023. Hosted at the historic Guildhall, the unveiling highlights outstanding hotel experiences across the world that will shape the aspirations of consumers, travelers, and hoteliers.<\/p>

HOSHINOYA Tokyo opened in July 2016 at Otemachi, a financial district located in the heart of Tokyo. With two basement floors and 17 floors above ground, it is a \u201ctower of ryokan (Japanese-style inn)\u201d. It is common for traditional ryokans to be a single-story building and to be located outside the city but here, each floor of 6 rooms represents a small ryokan and it is piled up to create a \u201ctower of ryokan\u201d in an urban setting. The interior is furnished with tatami<\/em>\u00a0(mat of woven straw) and can only be entered after taking off the shoes at the main entrance. Whilst keeping the comfort of modern life, guest rooms incorporate essences from traditional, Japanese lifestyles, which include the use of\u00a0tatami<\/em>,\u00a0shoji<\/em> (paper doors), and furniture made with bamboo and chestnut wood. A fulfilling experience at HOSHINOYA Tokyo awaits, as Japanese culture is conveyed through seasonal decorations and activities, as well as omotenashi, Japanese hospitality.\u00a0<\/p>

Tim Brooke-Webb, Managing Director for The World\u2019s 50 Best Hotels, comments: \u201cOur heartfelt congratulations go out to every hotel on the list, each of which has clearly made a lasting impression on our Academy of travel experts. After seeing the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the hospitality industry, it\u2019s been especially fulfilling to see so many hoteliers from around the world gather in London to celebrate each other\u2019s achievements under one roof for the first-ever awards ceremony for The World\u2019s 50 Best Hotels. We hope this list inspires travel lovers to book somewhere truly spectacular for their next trip.\u201d<\/p>

The launch of The World\u2019s 50 Best Hotels is another step in 50 Best\u2019s journey towards becoming the ultimate global reference point for the very best hospitality experiences across the world, encompassing restaurants, bars and now hotels.<\/p>

How the 50 Best Voting Works<\/strong>
The list is created from the votes of The World\u2019s 50 Best Hotels Academy, which comprises 580 international well-traveled experts within the hotel and travel industry, with a 50\/50 gender balance. The Academy is split into nine regions across the world, where each region is headed up by an Academy Chair. A minimum of 25% of the panel will be renewed each year. All voters, aside from the Academy Chairs, remain anonymous to eliminate the possibility of lobbying. At the point of voting, they are simply required to list the seven best hotels they have stayed in over the past 24 months in order of preference. Voting is carried out individually and strictly confidentially on a secure site and the results remain confidential until after the list announcement. Additional information is available on the 50 Best FAQs page here.<\/p>
