How hotel nominations work
Nominate from experience, in your own order of preference.
Nominate the hotels and resorts that delivered your strongest recent stays. Consider the property itself: its sense of place, hospitality, design, comfort and the lasting impression of the complete stay.
What belongs in your nominations
- You must have completed a genuine stay at every property you recommend within the previous 24 months.
- Nominate the individual hotel or resort, not its owner, operator, designer or wider group.
- Do not include a property you own, work for, represent, advise or hold a financial interest in.
- The property must be operating and available to guests when the ranking is prepared for publication.
What happens to a public nomination
The submission becomes a research lead for the stated category and region. It does not become a calculated ranking value, a member ballot or a promise of coverage.
Academy applications are reviewed separately. Only an appointed member can access the official ballot, which records dates, funding and conflicts for every listed place.
Shared standards
Every nomination follows the same independence rules.
- 01
Every contributor acts personally. Shared lists, coordinated submissions and nomination instructions are not accepted.
- 02
Payment, gifts or commercial pressure in exchange for a recommendation are prohibited.
- 03
Contributor identities and individual nominations remain confidential.
- 04
Hotels, restaurants and bars cannot apply, nominate themselves or purchase a position.
- 05
Public nominations never enter the ranking. Sponsors and commercial partners do not direct the process.
