Our pick of the world's luxury hotels

When you're spending hundreds of pounds a night on a hotel, you want to be damn sure you're getting your money's worth. But how do you know without having seen the hotel before if it really is all it's cracked up to be? Of course the hotel's own literature will wax lyrical and the differences between them may seem only to come down to a chocolate on the pillow here or a few extra inches on the flatscreen television there. Well, easyvoyage.co.uk has come up with a list of 10 of its favourite luxury hotels around the world which we believe represent the very best a destination has to offer. So, just choose your destination and leave the accommodation choice to us!
