Hotels and resorts that achieved placement on the Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards list were determined by the casting of 1.3 million votes from 80,000 participants in the magazine’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards survey. The list reflects the combined opinions of Condé Nast Traveler readers, rating the hotels, cities, and islands they visited in the past year. According to the magazine, luxury creates discriminating critics. Luxury also seduces with readers praising quality where it thrives, and finding it where it emerges. The 2013 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards list is a tangible reflection of this.
