If your New Year's resolution is the same as ours—travel more!—you'll soon be faced with the question of where to stay. Choosing the right hotel is not always easy, but it's one decision that can make (or break) your trip. That's why we've done all the legwork. Here, in our sixth annual T+L 500, Travel + Leisure's global team of reporters and editors has culled the 500 highest-rated hotels from our World's Best survey, identified what differentiates them from their competitors, sussed out the best rooms to book—and determined what services, amenities, and perks not to miss. It's this year's definitive hotel guide, and it's just for you.
