2025 Condé Nast Best Hotels: The Complete List

Ranked #1 on Condé Nast's Best Hotels list for 2025, The Lodge at Bodega Bay occupies a stretch of the Sonoma Coast where the Pacific dictates the atmosphere as much as any design decision. The property sits at the quieter, nature-immersed end of California coastal lodging, positioning it alongside properties like Post Ranch Inn in its emphasis on landscape over spectacle.

A 50-story Rafael Viñoly-designed tower at West 28th Street and Broadway, the Ritz-Carlton NoMad is the brand's contemporary Manhattan answer to its more formal uptown address. With a Michelin Key, a 94.5-point La Liste ranking, and José Andrés overseeing the culinary program, it occupies a distinct tier among New York's new-wave luxury hotels. Rooms from $1,276 per night; 250 rooms total.

Ranked third on Condé Nast Traveler's 2025 Best Hotels list, the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee anchors the city's downtown convention corridor at 333 W Kilbourn Ave with a physical presence that sets it apart from the mid-market Hyatt tier. Its atrium architecture places it in the tradition of grand civic hotel design, and its location keeps guests within easy reach of the Fiserv Forum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the broader lakefront.

Ranked #4 on Condé Nast Traveler's 2025 Best Hotels list, Thompson Nashville occupies a compelling position in Nashville's design-led hotel tier. Located at 401 11th Ave S in the Gulch neighbourhood, the property draws guests who want proximity to the city's energy without sacrificing a considered aesthetic. It sits at the sharper, more editorial end of the Nashville market.

Housed in a 1930s Beşiktaş building on the European shore of the Bosphorus, Bosphorus earned 94 points in the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels ranking and placed fifth in Condé Nast's 2025 Best Hotels list.

Fogo Island Inn sits on a remote Newfoundland island where cod-fishing heritage and high-design architecture converge in a 29-room property that earned Michelin 3 Keys and a 98.5-point La Liste rating in 2026. Rates from US$2,416 per night reflect both the isolation and the ambition: daily-changing locavore menus, wilderness excursions, and a community-ownership model that channels revenue back into a place fighting cultural erasure.

Auberge du Vieux-Port in Old Montreal is a refined boutique hotel blending 19th-century architecture with contemporary comfort. Stay in one of 45 rooms featuring Le Labo bath products, Marie L'Oie goose-down bedding and Nespresso machines.

Expect cobblestone streets, fireplaces, warm wood finishes and the scent of fresh coffee each morning — an authentic Montreal experience tailored for couples, cultural travelers and business guests.

Positioned against Austin's broader boutique hotel set, Hotel Saint Cecilia occupies a distinct tier: 14 rooms, Michelin 1 Key recognition, a Condé Nast Traveler top-ten ranking in 2025, and a guests-only lounge that keeps the property from tipping into scene over substance. Part of the Bunkhouse Hotels family, it reads as a luxury guest house with a considered edge rather than a conventional upscale property.

A 19th-century Ottoman palace on the Bosphorus shore, Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul holds a 96.5-point score from La Liste's 2026 Top Hotels ranking and placed ninth in Condé Nast's 2025 Best Hotels list.

It is a serious hotel that takes its neighbourhood seriously.

Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown sits at 27 Barclay Street in Tribeca, placing one of Manhattan's most design-forward luxury addresses in the shadow of the Financial District rather than Midtown's hotel corridor.
