The World's Best 100 Hotels 2016

The World's Best 100 Hotels 2016 is an annual editorial record, not a permanent classification. It compares hotels within the conditions, openings and hospitality landscape of 2016, then preserves every position as part of that edition's archive.

The order brings service, reputation, design and sense of place, destination value, and the wider food, wellness and lifestyle offer into one comparative judgement. A high position therefore reflects the coherence of the complete stay rather than a single celebrated room, restaurant or facility.

Nihiwatu leads the 2016 edition at No. 1. Use the ranking records to understand why each hotel mattered in this particular year, then follow the canonical hotel page for its current location, official links, stories and available planning details.
