Hotel Headlines: 2023 Trends

• This year, wellness is top of mind for travelers. All-inclusives and hotels set in relaxing Caribbean destinations rank highly in the 2023 awards. With more travelers in search of relaxation, Tripadvisor launched two brand new subcategories for 2023 to help everyone find their zen: The Best Hotels with Spas and the Best Hotels for Sleep.
• The 2023 awards, particularly in the U.S., feature many new winners, suggesting that as more people traveled and left reviews over the past year, they ventured to new places, both at home and abroad.
• Asia tops the charts for travelers this year, proving that the market has bounced back as a tourism destination. Nine of the top 25 Hottest New Hotels are in Asia, along with eight of the Top Hotels in the world, including the esteemed No. 1 spot.
• Brazil takes the cake with the most winners on the world list this year, with Istanbul beating out other cities. In the U.S., Charleston has the most unique winners, followed by New York City and Washington, D.C.

OBLU SELECT Lobigili in the Maldives secures Tripadvisor's "rookie of the year" status, ranking No. 1 in the world. This 5-star resort exclusively for adults features nature-inspired designs that bring to life a secluded, castaway feel, once again proving wellness is paramount for travelers. In the U.S., San Francisco's design- and art-driven LUMA Hotel takes the crown.

Those looking for more bucket list adventures and Instagram-worthy photo-ops can explore the most Out-of-the-Ordinary Hotels for a stay to remember: 

• Patagonia Camp in Chile is No. 1 in the world. Within Torres del Paine National Park, this is the first luxury camp in South America with a chic collection of glamorous Yurts. Glampers rejoice!
• There are two U.S. winners this year: Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico, and The Verb Hotel in Boston. 

Planning a family getaway can be difficult enough, so let Tripadvisor take some of the pressure off hotel selection. The Best Family-Friendly Hotels hold fun stuff for kids, plus all the perks for parents.

• No. 1 in the world: Ikos Andalusia in Estepona, Spain.
• No 1. In the U.S.: Lago Mar Beach Resort & Club in Fort Lauderdale. The resort is also No. 18 in the world, the only U.S. hotel awarded among the best in the world.

Great hospitality doesn't always mean massive resorts; sometimes the best stays are a cozy bed and breakfast, which is why Tripadvisor awards the Best B&Bs/Inns.

• Last year's favorites reign supreme: The Toulson Court in Scarborough, United Kingdom takes the No. 1 spot in the world for the second year in a row, and Candleberry Inn on Cape Cod is No. 1 in the U.S. once again (also No. 5 in the word).

Luxury Hotels recognize places with above-and-beyond hospitality and amenities for days.

• No. 1 in the world: Rambagh Palace in India, which is also the No. 1 Top Hotel.
• No. 1 in the U.S. Hotel Emma at Pearl in San Antonio.

Sometimes, Small Hotels make a big impression. Here are travelers' favorite hotels under 30 rooms:

• No. 1 in the world: White House Hotel in Istanbul, for the second consecutive year.
• No. 1 in the U.S.: Adobe Grand Villas in Sedona, Arizona

Finally, the Best All-Inclusive Hotels hold everything you could ever need (and more), all in one place.
