Choosing a hotel can be tricky. Sure, you can rely on professional travel writer reviews or the information provided on a hotel’s website. But the most reliable source of information comes from actual travelers who have experienced the property firsthand. This is the beauty of Tripadvisor, a travel website focused on user reviews, photos, and recommendations. Every year, Tripadvisor compiles a list of the best hotels, chosen by the people–not travel experts.
The Travelers' Choice Best of the Best Awards takes into consideration the quality and quantity of traveler reviews and ratings and divides them into a variety of subcategories. Out of the millions of properties in the world, less than 1% make the annual list–and just ten hotels were named the top 10 in the U.S. in 2022.
