Much like Michelin extended to awarding Michelin Keys for hotels, La Liste is extending its rankings beyond restaurants, with a new 'elite global hospitality" ranking that names the top ten luxury properties across three continents - North America, Asia, and Europe.
Known for its sophisticated algorithm analyzing thousands of reviews, published professional evaluations, and guest feedback, La Liste is extending travel inspiration to global diners with this new ranking.
'Hotels are no longer just places to stay,' says Philippe Faure, president and founder of La Liste. 'They have become cultural landmarks, ecological laboratories, and creators of unforgettable experiences.'
The data takes into account professional and guest opinions, using the weighted calculations that La Liste is known for in curating their annual top restaurants list. The proprietary algorithm aggregates and analyses data from over 400 international sources, to create a unique, objective evaluation aiming to transcends cultural preferences and regional biases.
Here are the top ten properties, according to La Liste.
'A masterclass in discreet opulence, this Parisian jewel offers an exquisite blend of 19th-century elegance and 21st-century sophistication. Behind its stately façade, guests discover an intimate sanctuary where faultless service anticipates desires before they're even formed."
'Overlooking the Seine in the reborn La Samaritaine, this LVMH masterpiece redefines contemporary French luxury. Art, gastronomy, and design converge in spaces of breathtaking beauty, where every element has been considered with almost obsessive attention to detail.'
'Where British heritage meets contemporary artistry, The Connaught balances storied tradition with bold innovation. Its legendarily attentive service, helmed by the world's finest butlers, transforms each stay into a narrative of timeless refinement.'
'An enduring icon of British cultural identity, The Savoy transcends mere hospitality to embody an entire era of sophistication. Its rooms-witnessing over a century of history-continue to set the standard for luxurious restraint while its legendary American Bar remains the spiritual home of cocktail artistry.'
Il San Pietro di Positano
"Carved into the precipitous Amalfi coastline, this miraculous feat of architecture cascades down the cliffside in a series of terraced gardens and panoramic platforms. Each room-a private belvedere suspended between azure sky and crystalline Mediterranean-offers what may be Italy's most dramatic seascape. The hotel's private beach, accessible only by elevator cut through solid rock, epitomizes the exclusive yet authentic Italian experience that has drawn discerning travellers for generations. '
'Not merely a hotel but a masterly reimagining of the sophisticated Italian beach house. With its perfectly judged residential atmosphere-where rare antiques converse with contemporary pieces across sun drenched spaces-J.K. Place captures Capri's effortless glamour while offering a sanctuary from its summer crowds.'

Through political upheavals and the relentless march of modernity, the "Oriental" has remained Bangkok's spiritual heart-a testament to timeless service where each staff member carries forward a 145-year legacy of perfection."
'Rising majestically on the historic Bund, this architectural tour de force marries Art Deco grandeur with cutting-edge technology. Behind its imposing façade lies an emotional homage to Shanghai's golden era, meticulously reimagined for modern connoisseurs who demand both heritage and innovation.'
'Commanding the prestigious intersection of Michigan and Chicago Avenues, this architectural statement piece delivers Asian service philosophy within distinctly American spaces. Its rooms-among the most technologically advanced in the world-offer intuitive automation that enhances rather than intrudes upon the guest experience.'
'A symphony of limestone, water, and indigenous wood, this ecological marvel winds through mangrove forests and crystalline lagoons. Each standalone suite-accessible by both boat and footpath creates the illusion of floating between verdant jungle and pristine Caribbean coastline, offering profound connection to one of Mexico's most sensitive ecosystems.'
