Holding on to its title as the best hotel in Australia and in all of Oceania was The Calile hotel in Brisbane – beating out luxury competitors in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Bangkok and London.
The World’s 50 Best Hotels list — pulled together with an expert panel of journalists, travellers and educators by The World’s 50 Best Hotels Academy — has officially revealed Australia’s best hotel.
The Calile Hotel in Brisbane took out 25th on the overall ladder while holding its place as the best hotel in the country.
The Calile Hotel co-owner Catherine Malouf said the team is “humbled” following the win.
“To have been selected two years in a row marks a significant affirmation of The Calile’s place on the global hotel industry stage,” Ms Malouf said.
“This is a win for our team, our collaborators, our loyal guests and a win for Brisbane as a destination, and we are humbled to again represent Australia and be recognised as leading in the Oceania region.”
Hotel general manager Chris Kemlo also said being included on the list for a second year in a row “reaffirms (the hotel’s) ongoing commitment to providing the best possible guest experience”.
“This achievement is a testament to our dedicated team, whose unwavering commitment to excellence and exceptional service drives us to continually exceed our guests’ expectations,” Mr Kemlo said.
The Capella in Bangkok took out first place in the list, followed by Passalacqua in Lake Como in Italy, Rosewood in Hong Kong, Cheval Blanc in Paris and The Upper House in Hong Kong.
