National Geographic Traveller (UK) has announced the winners of its Hotel Awards 2025
The annual awards features 10 categories with a winner and two runners-up in each, meaning a total of 30 hotels received recognition in this year’s awards.
Pat Riddell, editor of National Geographic Traveller (UK), said: “The hotel industry continues to surprise, with ever-more inventive openings and refurbishments every year, and a commitment to the finest guest experience at the forefront of each one. Our team of travel experts looked at new lodges, retreats, guesthouses and conversions across the world, and selected the very best for our annual awards.
“The Hotel Awards 2025 reflects the creativity and passion of owners and designers who have the ability to make a temporary place to stay feel like a dream home from home. Discover a cool designer pad in Mexico; a retro-hip motel along Route 66; a 19th-century building commissioned by a queen and reinvented as a boutique hotel in Stockholm; a remote retreat on the Sardinian coast; a farm-turned-food-retreat in Dorset, England — and plenty more besides.”
