- Condé Nast Traveller recently released its 2019 Gold List ranking of the best hotels in the world.
- Of the 78 hotels selected by the editors, 27 are located in Europe.
- Italy topped the rankings with eight hotels, followed by France with four.
- London was the most represented city, with three hotels between the Kensington and Covent Garden areas alone.
This year, Condé Nast Traveller featured 78 hotels on its 2019 Gold List, including 27 European hotels.
The hotels, which the magazine considers the best in Europe, range from a farmhouse in the English countryside to an oceanfront resort with private pools on the Greek islands.
Italy accounts for the biggest chunk of top-ranking hotels, tallying eight. Most of these hotels are on the water, whether lakeside in the Monte Baldo, along a canal in Venice, or seaside along the Amalfi Coast.
The hotels are scattered across Europe and represent a large range of prices, from $250 a night for a hotel in the Spanish island of Mallorca up to $2,600 a night at an exclusive spot in Iceland. Many of these luxury hotels have been Gold List and Readers' Choice winners in the past, such as Sweden's Ett Hem and Italy's Le Sirenuse.
