The Best Hotels in the World: 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards

"With plush blue velvet couches and tongue-in-cheek artwork sidled up by lime-green tufted headboards and bright-yellow bird cage light fixtures, this quirky 248-room stay could read as a total design disaster—but by some Seussical miracle, it all works. Characteristically thoughtful Kimpton amenities include a minibar stocked with gourmet local treats, Frette linens, and even a yoga mat so you never have to go too long without your beloved sun salutations and downward-facing dogs. Pull up a seat at one of the rooftop Biergarten’s communal tables, where you can nosh on a salted pretzel with one hand and guzzle a heady local brew with the other, or challenge some strangers to a friendly (if slightly unsteady) game of cornhole. If you prefer your vino with a side of quiet, head to the wine hour in the hotel lounge, or opt for 24-hour full-menu room service. The Monaco earns extra points for its pooch-friendly approach, along with its PUBLIC loaner bikes." - CNT Editors
