Luxury travel is changing. But what do the travellers themselves think? ✈️
The Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards 2026 have been revealed, offering a fascinating look at the hotels, resorts and destinations making the biggest impression on travellers around the world.
From the old-school glamour of The Carlyle in New York to the contemporary all-inclusive luxury of Ikos Odisia in Corfu and the extraordinary wilderness experience of Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle in Thailand, this year’s winners couldn’t be more different.
And perhaps that’s exactly the point.
Luxury is no longer defined by one particular style of hotel or holiday. For some, it’s heritage and exceptional service. For others, it’s extraordinary surroundings, thoughtful experiences or simply the opportunity to completely switch off.
Our latest Travel is Changing edit explores the winners, the surprises and what the results tell us about the future of luxury travel.
Which of these would be your first choice?
Save this for your future travel plans. ✨
