Conde Nast Traveler

the 2024 READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS

hotels • The key to a memorable stay? It starts with the people who run the show, from the meticulous bartender to the masterful concierge.

cities • This year you traveled without limits: Cities from five continents made the list, and you’re leaving no corner of the US unexplored

Mise en Place • Artful dishes abound wherever you go in Montreal, which scored top points for food

On the Move • Copenhagen rules the RCAs not only because of its food, art, and design, but also because it’s just so much fun to get around town

luggage • This year’s winners prove you know that substance can go hand in hand with style

cruise • You’ve said that you want to go farther and wider. With new itineraries and ports of call, many of your favorite cruise lines have shown they’re listening

resorts • From Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, in Mexico, to Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort, in Hawaii, reborn classics captured your heart this year

spa resorts • Many of your favorite international retreats can be found in Asia—while in our own backyard, ranches and farms gave you the reset you were looking for

islands • Fiji and Bermuda still charm, but this year also saw you heading to Crete and the Galápagos, both of which rose to number one in their categories

Take It Easy • Already beloved, Koh Samui is set to rocket into the global consciousness with the next season of The White Lotus. But its simple pleasures are built to last

airlines • Delta still dominates its category, while the rise of the all-business-class La Compagnie shows the increasing importance you place on privacy, space, and service in the air

airports • If there is any one thing you value above all else in an airport, it’s the lounge. The best of the best combine moments of calm with ways to optimize your waiting time

countries • You love what you love: Japan, Italy, and Greece still score highly, while Thailand and Vietnam are back after a few years away

WILD AT HEART • Yes, Dominica has glorious Caribbean beaches. But inland lies a tapestry of lush rainforests and rugged peaks, with a tinge of magic in the air

the other world • Deeply tethered to Ireland’s Gaelic past, the isolated northern county of Donegal remains a place of myth and music

time after time • After a career on the road, novelist Paul Theroux ponders the tricks travel plays on memory—and the ways it can make your life feel longer

rock solid • Beyond the snow-fluencers and over-the-top après scene, Aspen is still a lovable old-school ski town with some of the best, most diverse terrain on the planet
