The best hotel suites in the world according to the World Travel Awards

Every year the World Travel Awards celebrates the best in the tourism and hospitality industry. Selected by travel professionals and the public, this year’s nominations include the best hotel suites from around the world with the ultimate wow factor.

I spoke to Graham Cooke, Founder of the World Travel Awards, who said: “We are hosting our first World Travel Awards ceremony since the pandemic in Jamaica, followed by events in Vietnam, Kenya, Jordan and Mallorca. We are heartened by the caliber and number of travel industry luminaries arriving from around the world to join us in celebrating industry excellence. This also reflects how much travel is recovering.”

“The global lockdown has been an unprecedented shock to our sector, especially in countries heavily dependent on tourism,” he adds. “But it’s fantastic to be back. The industry is getting leaner and hungrier. A whole series of exciting properties are opening in the luxury hotel sector this year.”

Here is the list of nominations for this year’s World Travel Awards for Best Hotel Suite, updated with winners in October.
