Vodka Russia05 mins
Canada, 150 looks good on you. This year, our northern neighbor is celebrating a milestone birthday along with a youthful, energetic new Prime Minister. Travelers are reveling in the opportunity to visit thanks to the favorable exchange rate and chic places to stay, like these top 10 urban winners. Every year for the World’s Best Awards survey, GoTravelDaily asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as City or Resort based on their locations and amenities. The Magnolia Hotel & Spa jumped from the No. 7 slot last year to No. 1, giving charm-filled Victoria some much-deserved attention. Steps from the city’s Inner Harbour, the 64-room property earned rave reviews from readers for its boutique feel and rooms with water views. “I have been traveling for business and pleasure for more than 50 years, and this was truly a highlight,” wrote one voter. “The staff are friendly and accommodating, and everything from the amenities to the location was perfect.” Across the Salish Sea, Vancouver racked up the awards with five of the top 10 hotel winners, including runner-up the Loden Hotel, a 77-room property designed with natural materials — copper, stone, and sustainable wood — and wellness-inspired beds, linens, and bath products. Amenities like complimentary local car service (in a London cab) and cruiser bikes also attract repeat guests. The Rosewood Hotel Georgia (No. 4), ideally located downtown across from the Vancouver Art Gallery, is also home to one of the city’s best restaurants, Hawksworth. In Montreal, the Ritz-Carlton, which originally opened in 1912 and cocoons guests in rooms with original furnishings and fireplaces, made the list, as did the Hotel Le Crystal, a downtown build with a 12th-floor spa, indoor saltwater pool, and outdoor hot tub with unbeatable city views.

Whether you prefer great swaths of hilly jungle, as in Thailand’s Golden Triangle, or the azure waters off white-sand beaches in the Philippines, this part of the world offers ample choice. Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey, GoTravelDaily asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe—sharing their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as City or Resort based on their locations and amenities. Especially noteworthy is this year’s runner-up, the Four Seasons Nam Hai in Hoi An, Vietnam. The luxury hotel group recently took over this oceanfront property, which features 200 feng-shui-influenced villas, three pools, and a cooking school that celebrates Vietnamese cuisine. Another standout in Vietnam is the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort (No. 5), which combines a stunning natural setting along the Son Tra Peninsula Nature Reserve with a modern design sensibility crafted by Bangkok-based architect and interior designer Bill Bensley. Thailand had a strong showing this year, with six resorts on the list, including two in the wilds of the Golden Triangle near the border with Laos and Myanmar. Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa doubles as an elephant-conservation center, where guests can learn about the pachyderms’ significance in Thai society while getting up close and personal with the animals. The nearby Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle offers 15 luxury tents that seem to float amid the dense forest canopy, in addition to guided elephant rides. Furthermore, Thailand is also home to the 137 Pillars House, this year’s winner. Located in Chiang Mai’s peaceful, picturesque Wat Gate neighborhood, the building was originally constructed in 1889, giving the 30-suite boutique hotel a profound sense of history. The wide terraces and large daybeds that accompany every suite overlook impeccably landscaped tropical gardens, which readers found ideal for early evening relaxation.

The interior freshwater waterways of the Sunshine State have the potential for as much adventure as her exterior oceans.
