Winning hotels were selected based on proprietary guest experience data, which factors in traveler reviews, interactions with staff and ratings on property facilities, and condition. Select winning hotels are VIP Access hotels, meaning they offer additional perks to members to elevate traveler stays.

"Perfect Somewheres 2024 recognizes the hotel industry's creme de la creme," said Expedia Group's SVP of Global Communications Lauri Metrose. "Most programs use only reviews, or focus solely on luxury — our new awards program spotlights hotels that craft extraordinary experiences and elevate the travel journey for our guests, regardless of the number of stars. This program fuels a powerful partnership: We showcase our partners' excellence, and together, we connect travelers with their perfect somewhere. We look forward to these awards becoming a benchmark for excellence in hospitality."

What's more, research conducted by Hotels.com found that almost half (49%) of travelers are more likely, now than ever before, to use a credible hotel-grading program to source their stays.¹ Travelers should use this curated list as the go-to authority when searching for the best possible hotel experience.
