World’s Best Hotels 2014 – The Top 3

Best City Hotel – Copacabana Palace Hotel, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

A favourite with the rich and famous, the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro has just undergone a $15 million makeover to make it even more beautiful.  Owned by the Orient-Express group, this high-end hotel is perfect for high-end city slickers.

Best Wilderness Hotel – Sand Rivers, Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania

Opened by safari expert Richard Bonham in the early 1990s, the Sand Rivers Resort in the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania is the perfect hideaway for those who love wildlife, sleeping under the stars and dining by candlelight.

Best Beach Hotel – Kaya Mawa, Malawi

A remote retreat on Likoma Island Lake Malawi, the Kaya Mawa Resort is one of Africa’s “most intriguing beach hideaways”.  You can spend you days on the beach drinking ice-cold South African Sauvignon Blanc or head off for some quad-bike action in the local villages – either way, you will feel like you have found your own little piece of paradise.
