You may have enjoyed looking through the 100 Most Beautiful Places In The World, and the overwhelmingly positive reactions I’ve gotten from that post have encouraged me to create this list of the 100 most amazing, unique, and beautiful hotels in the world.
Also see the 100 Most Beautiful Places in the World and the 50 Greatest Festivals in the World.
I’ve used my discretion to choose what I think are the most wonderful and amazing hotels- which means that some of the more famous unusual hotels are omitted from this list because they are downright ugly and I don’t see why anybody would want to stay in them. And there is no concept art- if it doesn’t exist, it is not on this list. This is a list of 100 beautiful, quality, unique hotels that anyone would love to visit on a special occasion. The list is in no particular order.
