Travelers from around the world have decided on their favorite hotels for 2024, and Tripadvisor has unveiled the final results of winners for its annual Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Hotels Awards. The awards celebrate this year’s highest-rated hotels based on Tripadvisor reviews.

Deep in the heart of Brazil is the number one hotel, Hotel Colline de France. This French-inspired, 34-suite boutique hotel is located in the mountain town of Gramado. The property has the most 5-star reviews of any other listing on the site. Many travelers note the service and attention “I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service,” says one 5-star reviewer, another says, “This is a fairy tale not a hotel. Elegant, charming and everything is close to perfection.”

The Shore Hotel is the No. 1 hotel in the United States. The eco-friendly boutique property is located in Santa Monica, Calif., and offers stunning ocean views. Guests love the contemporary property and the personal attention from the staff. Reviewers are enthusiastic about the property saying, “By far the best service we have had at a hotel,” and “The staff pampered us and made sure every minute of our stay was handled with care.”

While travelers are often very opinionated on their favorite properties, it is essential to note that most of the winning hotels this year highlight enhanced customer service and staff that go out of their way to impress their guests. The range of properties is extensive, with Vietnam, Maldives, and Mexico leading the pack with two properties each. In the U.S., New York City and San Antonio, Texas, have the most star-reviewed hotels. Some hotels are all-inclusive and family-friendly, while others are purely for adults-only.
