The Readers' Choice Awards 2022
The Readers' Choice Awards are the most important awards in the travel industry, celebrating the ultimate places, movers and fixers on the planet – from far-flung wilderness retreats and close-to-home urban hotels to Mediterranean villa specialists and destination spas in Asia. Formerly the Readers' Travel Awards, they have been running in the UK since 1998. We've linked up with our US title, Condé Nast Traveler, for a transatlantic venture – though readers are still very much able to nominate their favourite British city, hotel and tour operator. Nominations are marked on various criteria, including service, food and atmosphere. Check out the 2022 results now.

Design-lovers flock to Barcelona, and the Hoxton’s newest address is likely to be the place they book into. From the minute you step foot into the open-plan bar, restaurant and reception, you’ll be inspired by decor, menus and the cool-but-approachable staff. It’s the first opening from The Hoxton group in Spain, and the brand chose Poblenou as its location – an ideal setting for someone who wants to discover a new side to Barcelona, where locals hang out away from the crowded tourist favourites.
Few hotels capture Barcelona’s glorious heritage quite like this one, occupying a privileged corner on the Gran Via for more than a century. The former Ritz retains its Baroque opulence throughout, from the stately marble-columned entryway to the ballrooms dripping with ornate chandeliers to the vast main hall: all mirrors, gilt and elegant Louis XVI-style furniture.
The Japanese celebrity chef’s third restaurant and hotel opening in Spain (with a fourth, in Madrid, set to open in 2023) is in a slightly unusual setting: he’s chosen Plaça dels Països Catalans outside Sants station in north Barcelona to set up camp – a spot that is incredibly well-located for train travel but a tad further from the buzz of Las Ramblas than you’d expect.
Sir Victor Barcelona
Sir Victor Barcelona is a fresh update on Hotel Omm, which was Barcelona’s first design hotel back in 2003, and became something of a landmark.
Hotel Arts Barcelona
It’d be remiss to list Barcelona’s leading hotels without a mention for the landmark Hotel Arts.
These are this year's best hotels in the UK – as voted for by you in our Readers' Choice Awards 2022
