The World’s 50 Best Hotels list for 2024 was revealed last week on September 17, 2024. The second edition of the global ranking was announced in an awards ceremony in London. The list features 50 hotels from 37 destinations spread across six continents.
However, only one Indian hotel managed to secure a spot on the coveted list. Sujan Jawai, a luxury wilderness retreat located in Rajasthan, was ranked 43rd on the list, reported Moneycontrol.
The retreat was set up in 2013 by Jaisal and Anjali Singh and is known for its unique approach to offering luxury with untamed wilderness and natural beauty. Sujan Jawai provides its guests ten tented suites set within a camp offering a large variety of experiences such as leopard tracking, spa treatments, outdoor yoga, and local flavours dining under the stars.
The hotel was described by the World’s 50 Best Hotels as a ‘rare proposition’ and stressed that the retreat managed to balance tradition and modernity, along with luxury and wilderness. “Think part safari camp, part design darling, part destination diner, and you'll get the idea,” the list stated.
While India managed to secure a single representation on the list, Asia showcased its growth in the hospitality industry as the list included 19 hotels from the continent on this year’s list. Three out of the top five hotels on the list are located in Asia.
While Capella, Bangkok secured the first spot, Passalacqua, Lake Como and Rosewood, Hong Kong ranked second and third in the list. Take a look at the entire list below.
