The 10 best luxury hotels in the world, according to travelers

It's no secret that hotels can make or break a vacation. From cleanliness, to amenities, to fluffy pillows and welcoming staff, hotels are meant to feel like a home away from home.

But luxury hotels take that idea several steps further - offering things that you could never find at home, like designer toiletries, deluxe beds, state-of-the-art fitness centers, and sprawling casinos.

For the annual Loved by Guests Awards run by Hotels.com, nearly 20 million guests weighed in on their favorite luxury hotels in the world. The hotels that were determined to be the best were found to have the highest average rating from Hotels.com users.

The result is a top-10 list of hotels that boast unmatched levels of comfort, decadence, and service.
