Here Are the 10 Best Hotels in the World, According to La Liste
It's impossible to name a best hotel in the world, but you can declare a 10-way tie. That's according to La Liste, a company that publishes hotel and restaurant rankings by synthesizing vast troves of press coverage rather than judging properties independently. Its top 10 list, released exclusive to Bloomberg ahead of wider distribution on June 3, consists entirely of tied scores for the top prize. The winners include the beloved London icon the Connaught, with its feted bar and three-Michelin-starred restaurant (an eponymous spot by French chef Hélène Darroze), and J.K. Place Capri, a stark-white, 22-room cliffside hotel where airy seafront rooms will go for around $2,000 a night this summer.
When determining its rankings, La Liste considers reviews from 400 sources such as the Telegraph, Forbes travel guide and Bloomberg's own travel reporting. The content gets pushed through a proprietary algorithm to generate a score on a 100-point scale, similar to the methodology used for the company's global restaurant rankings. That's how 10 hotels ended up in a tie for first place—and how 47 hotels received 99 points in a tie for second, including previous winner Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice.

FTSE 100's Winning Run to Be Tested
There was a blow for the London market last night, however, when Cobalt Holdings said it has decided not to proceed with its IPO. The company had been due to debut on Thursday in an offering aimed at raising $230 million. That money was to be used to by physical cobalt from Glencore, which is one of the firm's backers. 'The company intends to explore options, including possibly funding the business privately,' Cobalt Holdings said in a statement to Bloomberg. It had been one of the bright spots in what remains a very quiet market for listings in London, so its decision once again will deliver a hit to any tentative momentum that was building.
