The 2019 Global Luxury Hotel & Spa Awards have been designed to recognise the companies, brands and individuals who are excelling in the ever-growing industry of luxury hospitality – those who go above and beyond to exemplify experiences clients are seeking when looking for their latest getaway. Our dedicated team of in-house researchers have handpicked each participant – ranging from the very best boutique hotels, to beautiful beach resorts and experts in tailor-made getaways. This proven approach ensures that we award on merit, and not popularity, and recognise the very best in the business.
