Best hotel in the world for 2025 revealed by Tripadvisor
Tripadvisor just released its 2025 Travellers' Choice Awards, a list of the best hotels in the world that analyses places with a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from their online community. Less than 1 per cent of the platform's 8 million entries earn the status. Topping the list is the Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya in Akumal, Mexico, a luxurious, all-inclusive stay on the beach of a wild sea turtle sanctuary. In fact, its name means 'place of the turtle'. The location's infinity pool, spa and restaurants were real standouts to guests who enjoy the 'grand escape full of both relaxation and adventure' on the Caribbean Sea. The hotel sits on the shores of the Mesoamerican Reef, the world's second-largest, home to several varieties of wild sea turtles. 'Wellness lovers will head for the fitness centre, steam room, and spa, while adventurers gear up for diving and bicycle tours. Plus, the resort's ideal location for snorkelling adds a bucket-list activity to your vacay,' Tripadvisor said. It's also a short trip away from the Mayan sites of Tulum and Coba. And you won't see any kiddos running around or splashing you in the pool: Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya is an adults-only getaway that opened a decade ago and has become a favourite for couples looking to be pampered. Each building has its own concierge who guarantees guests enjoy a seamless stay and can indulge in any way they want, whether it be a dinner table overlooking the sunset or a stocked minibar to enjoy the in-suite plunge pool. Only one American location made the top 10 — the French Quarter Inn in Charleston, South Carolina, landing at No. 8. It was lauded for its 'nice mix of old-world charm and modern comfort,' as well as amenities including 'cozy' furniture, Italian marble bathrooms, gas fireplaces and balconies. The 10 best hotels in the world, according to Tripadvisor 1. Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya, Mexico 2. Grandvrio Ocean Resort Danang, Vietnam 3. Gokulam Grand Turtle on the Beach, India 4. Romance Istanbul Hotel, Türkiye 5. Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Aruba, Caribbean 6. St. Ermin's Hotel, Autograph Collection, UK 7. Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, Caribbean 8.

This charming hotel in Charleston was just named one of the best in the world
Ready for some travel inspo? Tripadvisor has revealed the winners of its annual Travelers' Choice Awards: Best of the Best Hotels, spotlighting hotels around the world that have received outstanding reviews on the platform. The annual list includes the best hotels in the world as well as the best in categories ranging from family-friendly and pet-friendly to most unique. Earning the crown for the Top Hotel in the world is Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya in Mexico, but not far down the list is a hotel right here in the U.S.—the only one in the country that made the top ten. Coming in at number eight in the world (and number one in the U.S.) is the French Quarter Inn in Charleston, SC.

The French Quarter Inn is a fan favorite for its personal touches, including cookies & milk before bed. The French Quarter Inn is followed by FivePine Lodge and Spa in Sisters, OR; Atticus Hotel in McMinnville, OR and Hotel Drisco Pacific Heights in San Francisco, CA.
