Forbes Traveler Best Hotels

When putting together a vacation, most of us have to skimp on something. Often as not, it’s the accomodations.

Why pay big bucks when a moderately-priced hotel will do? You’re just going there to sleep, right?

For the better-heeled among us, however, staying at the best place in town isn’t just expected, it’s essential. That’s why Forbes Traveler put together a panel of seasoned (and well-to-do) globetrotters to help assemble a list of the world’s 400 Best Hotels.
