| Posted: 11 Jan 2010 01:17 PM PST  Orchid Suite Living Room at Halekulani, on the Beach at Waikiki Travel + Leisure magazine has released their 2010 list of the 500 best hotels in the world. This is always a highly anticipated list since the rankings are determined by votes of the magazine's readers. The 2010 list includes 16 hotels/resorts in Hawaii incorporating five separate Hawaiian Islands. Leading the way as the top rated hotel and also placing number 42 in the entire list is Halekulani on Oahu which should come as no surprise to the hotels loyal visitors. Halekulani scored a superb 91.81 out of a maximum 100 points. Long considered one of the top hotels in the world, Halekulani, on the beach at Waikiki, is a calm, sophisticated oasis that retains all of its long-held iconic charm and distinctive qualities, yet has still been able to adapt well to the hi-tech and faster paced world that we live in today. You can read my full review of this outstanding hotel. Joining Halekulani and also representing the island of Oahu is the Kahala Hotel & Resort scoring 84.82 points. The Kahala Hotel & Resort offers a peaceful and scenic alternative to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, yet remains close enough to Waikiki and downtown Honolulu that visitors can still enjoy the numerous local attractions and entertainment. You can read my full review of this hotel. The Big Island of Hawaii is represented by four outstanding properties: Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu (90.67), Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel (84.71), Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows (83.40), and the Fairmont Orchid (82.41).

| A few Bangkok surprises in 'Travel + Leisure's' 2010 hotel list - CNNGo.com Posted: 11 Jan 2010 09:30 PM PST
American luxury magazine "Travel + Leisure" has released its annual list of the top hotels in the world, with Bangkok making its usual strong showing. The January edition of the magazine names 500 of the finest properties on earth, voted on by readers and broken down into regions, as well as a list of the top 50 overall. Nine Bangkok hotels featured on the "Asia's best" list. These are, in order of popularity: Mandarin Oriental, The Peninsula, Le Meridien, Shangri-La, Four Seasons, Dusit Thani, Conrad, Banyan Tree and JW Marriott. Overall it's an incredibly predictable list, with the exception of Le Meridien, which just opened in 2008. We were slightly surprised to see traditional brand favorites like the Hyatt Erawan and Sukhothai left off the list. Only one Bangkok hotel managed to make the list of the world's 50 best, the Mandarin Oriental, which came in at number 20. In terms of Thailand, Chiang Rai's Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle was voted the world's 7th best hotel, while the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai won the number 21 spot.
