Rosewood Hotels & Resorts and 13 of the ultra-luxury brand’s unique properties have been honored by Travel + Leisure’s 27th annual World’s Best Awards, one of the industry’s most respected resources and an arbiter of exceptional hospitality experiences across the globe. This year’s awards program is especially meaningful for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, as Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, the brand’s iconic estate in Tuscany, Italy, has earned the list’s top global distinction of “Best Hotel Overall.” Other impressive property performances include the number one rankings of Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, Rosewood San Miguel de Allende, and Rosewood Villa Magna in their respective destinations of Santa Fe, Mexico, and Madrid. Additionally, Rosewood ranked number nine in the category of “Best Hotel Brands,” up an impressive six spots over last year’s ranking of number 15. The rankings are based on the first-hand experiences and reviews of Travel + Leisure’s sophisticated readers, which are gathered in an annual survey.
“Every year we anticipate the results of Travel + Leisure’s prestigious World’s Best Awards, bestowed by the magazine’s discerning and worldly readers. To have Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco named the number one hotel in the world this year is surreal, and a great moment of pride for our brand,” said Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “Throughout Rosewood’s history, our associates have worked tirelessly to enhance and evolve the guest experience, and these significant recognitions are a testament to their success.

The Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards program is a leading barometer of the places and companies that satisfy some of the most passionate and discerning travelers across the globe. The results are determined by a survey developed by the editors of Travel + Leisure, in association with research firm M&RR, that invites the publication’s readers to rate their travel experiences in various categories including airlines, airports, cities, cruise ships, destination spas, hotels, hotel brands, islands, tour operators and more. The survey was open for four months and promoted across Travel + Leisure’s many platforms, including the print magazine, tablet editions, newsletters, social media and travelandleisure.com. Respondents were asked to rate a wide range of hospitality brands and offerings on several characteristics, selecting a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average or poor across each category, which were then accumulated and averaged to determine the final scores.
