With more travelers looking for relaxation, Tripadvisor has launched two new categories for 2023 to help everyone find zen: Best Hotels with Restaurants and Best Lodging .
The 2023 awards have many new winners, showing that as many people have traveled and left comments over the years, they have gone to new places, at home and abroad.
Asia is at the top of the travel charts this year, proving that the market is back as a tourist destination. Nine of the 25 Hottest New Hotels are in Asia, along with eight of the World’s Best Hotels, including the prestigious No. 1 place.

“A magnificent palace in Jaipur topped the charts, while hotels ranging from a ‘glamping’ resort in Patagonia to a rock ‘n’ roll-themed boutique in Boston also made headlines.

Best Leftovers
Best Luxury Hotels: For travelers after the ultimate adventure, this list recognizes places that offer hospitality and stay more than a few days. Also the No.1 Top Hotel of 2023, Rambagh Palace in India is the No.1 Luxury Hotel in the world.
Best Small Hotels: Small hotels can make a big impression – none more so than this category’s winners, which showcase travelers’ favorite hotels with 30 rooms or less. The White House Hotel in Istanbul takes the No.1 spot in the world for the second year in a row. Near home, Araiya Palampur is No. 1 Small Hotel in India (also No. 3 in Asia and No. 10 in the world!)
B&B and Luxury Accommodation: Great hospitality does not always mean great accommodation; sometimes the best is a comfortable bed and breakfast. Last year’s favorite is the winner: Toulson Court in Scarborough, United Kingdom takes the number 1. 1 place in the world for the second year in a row. Darien Resort located in Ramnagar is at the top of the list, No.1 in Asia and India.
Hottest New Hotels: As the hospitality industry continues to evolve, many new hotels have opened their doors and OBLU SELECT Lobigili in the Maldives is at number one. 1 in the world.

Best All-In-One Resort: For hotels that have everything you need (and more), all in one place, Ozen Reserve Bolifushi in the Maldives is No.1 in the world.
