The world's greatest hotels for 2025 have been revealed
We've all got preferences when it comes to hotels – city centre versus country bolthole; sleek and modern versus rustic and homely – but chances are you wouldn't pass up the opportunity to stay at any one of the 10 super-luxe properties just named the world's 'finest' by hospitality guide La Liste. The French guide is known for its culinary rankings, producing an annual list of the 1,000 best restaurants on the planet. Now, La Liste is using its same algorithm-based approach – which aggregates thousands of critical reviews, professional judgements and guest feedback – to award the world's most exceptional places to stay. So, based on all that data, which hotels received the accolade this year? Six hotels in Europe, two in Asia, and two in the Americas made the 2025 list, with London and Paris boasting two hotels each. In London, the Grade II-listed Savoy and The Connaught, known for its butler service, were recognised by the ranking, while La Réserve and Cheval Blanc repped the French capital. Over in Asia, Mandarin Oriental Bangkok and The Peninsula Shanghai were included, while The Peninsula Chicago was the only hotel in the US to make the list. 'Our algorithm doesn't lie: these establishments truly represent the pinnacle of global hospitality,' said La Liste's founder Philippe Faure. 'Each transcends the simple concept of accommodation to offer a transformative experience to its guests.' Here's the full list of the world's best hotels in 2025, according to La Liste La Réserve, Paris The Connaught, London The Savoy, London Cheval Blanc, Paris Il San Pietro di Positano, Positano J.K. Place Capri, Capri Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok The Peninsula, Shanghai The Peninsula, Chicago Rosewood Mayakoba, Cancun

David then reposted this to his own Instagram story along with a handful of other celebratory messages from family and friends. The star celebrated turning the big 5-0 on Friday. Before a planned party in Mayfair, London this evening, David and his family enjoyed celebrations across France. The Beckhams were spotted arriving at Paris-Le Bourget Airport on Friday, after spending the afternoon at a vineyard Bordeaux. Despite the ex-England footballer being surrounded by most of his immediate family, Victoria and David's eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were nowhere to be soon - which has continued to fuel speculation of a feud. They were later seen emerging from their posh hotel, after splashing the cash at one of their favourite hotel's in the city, La Réserve. The family were spotted heading out for a special dinner, with David holding what appeared to be a £3,000 bottle of Chateau Petrus 1961. Today, The Sun told how Brooklyn had opted to forego a swanky party in London to celebrate his father - leaving the family "devastated". It is understood Brooklyn flew back home to the US earlier today. Victoria paid tribute to David on Instagram with a montage of photos and a clip of daughter Harper, now 13, as a toddler, warbling 'there's only one David Beckham'- News of his snub seemingly confirms a devastating feud at the heart of the Beckham clan. Last night a source said: 'David is heartbroken but putting a brave face on it. 'Tonight is all about celebration and love, and he is swimming in it. 'Brooklyn actually informed his parents a while ago that he and his wife, Nicola, would not be attending but, of course, David and Victoria desperately hoped he would change his mind. 8 David and his family have been celebrating in France Credit: BackGrid 8 Most of the clan were in attendance - but Brooklyn was nowhere to be seen Credit: BackGrid 8 He has snubbed his father amid a family feud Credit: Getty 'It's a dagger to the heart that he hasn't attended a single one of David's 50th celebrations - and hurts the whole family including the grandparents and siblings. 'Brooklyn is a really sweet boy and everyone loves him dearly. They just hope things can be patched up soon. 'In the meantime, everyone around David are doing all they can to give him a magical evening to remember.' What do David Beckham's tattoos mean? Hands Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word "Love" inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side. This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid. On his little finger, he has the year he was married. Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper. The devoted husband has "Posh' tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham's Spice Girls nickname. Arms Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria. The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit. Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary. The matching tatts translate to, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine". Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple's tenth anniversary. Neck One of Beckham's most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings. It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings. Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck. This was later updated to include the words "Pretty Lady", to mark her fourth birthday. Back Beckham's back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons. He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them. Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz's names inked across his back. Body Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz. The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols - this translates as 'Death and life have determined appointments". Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast - which is identical to the same one his dad has. 8 Romeo and Harper were spotted with their family in France Credit: BackGrid

Inside David Beckham's boozy 50th birthday celebrations in France as eldest son Brooklyn snubs trip
DAVID Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations are in full swing as he and his famous family mark the occasion in France. The Beckhams were spotted arriving at Paris-Le Bourget Airport on Friday, after spending the afternoon at a vineyard Bordeaux. 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 David looked dapper as ever in a beige jacket and trousers co-ord and a light grey t-shirt, while his fashion designer wife Victoria, 51, looked chic in a beige linen shirt and white tailored trousers. They were joined by their children Romeo, 22, and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 22, and younger son Cruz, 20, with his partner Jackie Apostel, 29. Victoria and David's youngest child Harper, 13, was spotted alongside her mum. Style icon Victoria looked picture perfect, shielding her eyes with a pair of oversized sunglasses and her brunette hair tied into a sleek ponytail. Despite the ex-England footballer being surrounded by most of his immediate family, Victoria and David's eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were nowhere to be soon - which has continued to fuel speculation of a feud. They were later seen emerging from their posh hotel, after splashing the cash at one of their favourite hotel's in the city, La Réserve. The family were spotted heading out for a special dinner, with David holding what appeared to be a £3,000 bottle of Chateau Petrus 1961. Victoria looked the epitome of class in a grey suit trousers teamed with a white vest under her oversized blazer. She kept her makeup neutral emphasise her natural features, while wearing her hair in a neat updo. David wore a dark brown/grey suit, Cruz opted for a white sleeveless sweater vest and black trousers and Romeo donned an all black outfit. Romeo's girlfriend Kim looked effortlessly chic a black turtle neck jumper and trousers, while Jackie took inspiration from Victoria's look by also sporting a similar tailored grey suit. They were seen getting into waiting cars, which attracted a crowd of onlookers and locals. The family then arrived at bistro restaurant Chez l'Ami Louis, which is known as one of the most charming eateries Paris. Sports star David looked in good spirits as he was sat across the table from daughter Harper and next to son Romeo. Harper looked just like her mum in a full length black dress, a grey oversized blazer and her hair in an elegant ballerina bun. After enjoying a few glasses, David took off his jacket and was seen relaxing with his loved ones during intimate night out. Not long after, the Beckhams were spotted catching a flight back to the UK. There were some tired faces among the group, with David pulling an exhausted expression in one snap. Although most of them dressed down for the flight home, Victoria was stylish as ever in a bright red ribbed jumper, black trousers and her sunglasses. It comes after fashion designer Victoria pulled out all the stops with an early celebration for David earlier this week. David hosted a black-tie gathering with wife Victoria, 51, their family and close friends earlier this week at a £10million Cotswolds estate. The elegant affair saw Becks and his guests donning tuxedos and ballgowns, sipping cocktails, and going for a midnight swim fully dressed. David's Porsche Penske from the IndyCar Series was seen parked up outside at the swanky soirée. As the night progressed things took a wild turn with some attendees jumping in David and Victoria 's pond, tuxedos and all. The superstar couple's youngest son Cruz, 20, shared a glimpse of the night on social media, posting a sweet photo with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29. They coordinated their looks with budding rock star Cruz in a classic tux and standout red braces, and Jackie in a striking red satin gown. NO SHOW? The Sun revealed that David is hosting a lavish party tonight in London - although there are fears eldest son, Brooklyn, will NOT attend despite being in the capital. Tellingly, the 26-year-old did not publicly post a 'happy birthday' message to his dad - the first time he has failed to do so. However, Becks had an 'amazing' day with the rest of his family, as the clan hired a £40 million Brigadier Global 6000 private jet, spending the afternoon supping wines in a Bordeaux vineyard. Wife Victoria paid tribute to him on Instagram with a montage of photos and a sweet clip of daughter Harper as a toddler, warbling 'There's only one David Beckham'. A source added: 'David had the most incredible day, and felt truly spoilt. 'The immediate family flew out from Oxford, spent the afternoon supping wines - even Harper had a little sip - and then jetted to Paris in the evening for dinner at one of his favourite restaurants. Victoria went all out. 'It was pretty much a perfect day, although sadly Brooklyn was unable to make it. 'Tonight is the big London bash with his celeb pals, family and friends but although Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, are invited - and are in town - they have yet to RSVP. "There has been some contact between them though. "So it's all very up in the air - there's certainly a lot of tension there right now, but David just wants to focus on the positives, and what will be will be.' Around 40 guests - including Gordon and Tana Ramsay, Guy Ritchie Tom Cruise and the couple's personal trainer, Bobby Rich, are expected to attend the three source, sit-down meal tonight. 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18
