Here Are The Top 100 Hotels In The World, According To Travel & Leisure Magazine September, 2009
THE TOP 100 HOTELS
Properties in Africa and Asia have been steadily rising in the Top 100 rankings since 2003, and this year they have broken all the records: 58 percent of reader favorites are located on the other side of the globe. But properties closer to home still hold strong. At No. 3, St. Lucia’s Jade Mountain is the first hotel in the Caribbean ever to break into the Top 10, and U.S. and Canadian hotels, from Texas to Toronto, make up nearly a quarter of the list.

HOTEL NELLIGAN Montreal Was Good!
My husband and I traveled to Old Montreal for a 4 day get-away.
The hotel was beautiful. It is decorated in a trendy, urban chic décor. It is very clean, and the staff was polite and helpful. My husband and I are frequent travelers; we look to stay in the nicest hotels available. There is curbside valet parking for all guests; and concierge service around the clock. We received complimentary wine every night on the roof top lounge, and a free truly continental breakfast daily with wonderful croissants, rich coffee, and fruit and chocolate. Old Montreal is decidedly European with most staff speaking multiple languages including English, French and Spanish.
The hotel is located in the heart of Old Montreal and walking is a must. This hotel is located a block from the Note Dame Basilica, The historic waterfront, museums, shopping and restaurants.
My one suggestion is not to stay on the top floor, as the rooftop bar and restaurant are noisy well past midnight, and the staff is up there cleaning and moving chairs and tables very early!
Staying in Argentina is not easy. You have to find the right combination: location+affordability. Also, if you are travelling with children, you have to keep in mind millions of things. But you will forget about all this problems once you are there. An atmosphere full of joy, luxury restaurants, nice squares, beaches, landscapes. Last year I decided to rent an apartment in buenos aires and my children are still grateful. Everything is made for tourists, and as you say, an example is menus, which are bilingual.
had the best time!

THE FARM AT CAPE KIDNAPPERS North Island, New Zealand is great place.
My boyfriend and I have been this hotel. we really happy and enjoy. this is a good place in New Zealand.
seems like the readers favorites of Hotels in Kenya are all located in the Game reserves but the Tribe Hotel in the capital Nairobi is great. the service, the dining, the ambience, the showers. I think it deserves a mention!!!!
