Each year, Conde Nast Traveller (CNT) reveals its ‘Gold List’, a list of the best hotels in the world as chosen by CNT’s global network of editors. This unveiling has become one of the most eagerly-anticipated events in CNT’s calendar, with an appearance on the list now very prestigious in travel. Here at IAB, we pride ourselves on working alongside the very best hotels and resorts around the globe. We’re therefore delighted to see many of these on the 2023 edition of the Gold List, and you can see them below.
