IL's Favorite Hotels

Date: 10/08/2007

Dear International Living Reader,

What do you look for in a hotel stay? Is it affordability? Location? Amenities? Ambience? Perhaps you require more personal service than the average traveler. Or maybe you're the type of person who simply needs a firm mattress and clean sheets.

What follows is a varied selection of hotel bests. You'll find much of the best luxury accommodation listed, but we've also made a point of including a number of unusual establishments: the Nashville hotel where your family pet can sleep in a custom bed and order room service…the Beijing hotel with the best bowling alley…Paris' $12 per night accommodation…

Traveling the world can be exhausting. We want you to find the best place to lay your weary head-according to your standards.

So here's our best…to you. Sweet dreams!
