Who decides the 'best' hotels?

The 'World's 50 Best Hotels' list is created by a voting academy of over 800 anonymous industry experts, including hoteliers, travel journalists, and luxury travellers. They cast votes for hotels they've stayed in during the past two years, making it a peer-reviewed and highly respected accolade in the hospitality world.
