The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Bangkok has recently been awarded the number one spot as the Best Hotel in Asia and the World in this year’s The Telegraph Hotel Awards by The Telegraph, a leading British media outlet. The ranking was based on insights into the most amazing places to stay around the globe by The Telegraph’s hotel and destination experts and a collection of more than 10,000 hotel reviews.
Praising the overall winner, Lee Cobaj, the head Asia judge, said, “There is simply nowhere else like it. The Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, is the most wonderful hotel in the world, and to paraphrase Nöel Coward, I am fonder of it than ever.”
Followed by the Mandarin Oriental, the other top five hotels are the Bally Ballyfin in Ireland (Best in Europe), Ellerman House in South Africa (Best in Africa), the Peninsula in Hong Kong, and Les Prés d’Eugénie in France.
Another hotel in Thailand, Six Senses Yao Noi, also achieved 21st place in The Telegraph Hotel Awards. (PRD)
