Behind the Awards

The editorial team sent categories to more than 200 travel correspondents globally, then compiled their

 suggestions along with the Jetsetter team's. A final committee of senior-level editors sat to debate and narrow

 down the list down based on each category's criteria, then compiled a final selection of a winner and two

 runner-ups in each category. The Jetsetter Best of the Best hotel awards represent hotels that truly 

encapsulate the outstanding experiences members have come to expect from properties on Jetsetter. 

Editor in Chief Sean Murphy notes, "All the hotels on Jetsetter have something special about them that makes

 them worthy of a Jetsetter recommendation, but often our members are looking for a particular hotel experience

 and want to know where to go to get the best of what they want. At our core we are travel-experience curators 

and hotel-member matchmakers. The Best of the Best awards are a way for us to help our 20 million members

 identify the special within the special of our 2,500 handpicked hotels."
