Travel and Leisure’s original press release available here.

The 14th annual It List, a selection of the best new and renovated hotels in the world, was released today.

Each year travel experts check in to hundreds of new hotels around the globe in search of the properties that offer a winning alchemy of setting, design, and service. The experts then collaborate with global network of travel writers, contributors, and agents to narrow down the list.

“Hotels are a prominent part of the travel experience, which is why we devote an entire issue to this topic each year,” said Jacqueline Gifford, Editor in Chief of Travel + Leisure. “With more than 70 hotels chosen, from a colorful escape in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, to two safari resorts in Namibia, we’re excited to share why these properties excite us, how they connect us to people, and the many ways they provide comfort when we’re far from home.”
