Notable travel companies that release "Best Of" lists every year are often highly anticipated by both tourism companies and travellers around the world. This recognition can boost business significantly for the hotels, airlines and touring groups that are included. Aussies who prefer to stay at top-notch establishments may wish to consider the latest hotels and resorts that were included on Conde Nast Traveller's 2012 Gold List for their unique services, amazing style and overall attractiveness to guests.

Those considering a future holiday in the British Isles may make reservations with the Red Carnation Hotel Collection. This brand had three hotels honoured on the Gold List from the U.K., which were Egerton House Hotel, 41 and The Milestone Hotel. All three are ideal for a luxurious getaway that encompasses the best of what this region has to offer in terms of tradition, culture and entertainment.

Each of these facilities have unique characteristics that helped them be recognized on the list. For instance, The Egerton House Hotel is situated in the bustling shopping centre of Knightsbridge and Harrods, close to many of the stylish boutiques that offer great opportunities to pick up some modern fashions. Each spacious gusts room or suite has charming and elegant furnishings that can provide a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere after a day out in the city of London.

The trendy 41 hotel boasts views of Buckingham palace and is designed to look sleek, sophisticated and contemporary. It has only 30 rooms, so guests can enjoy personal service in an exclusive setting. Not only are patrons lavished with the 24-hour concierge and room service, but they also have access to a special pantry and culinary area so they may choose snacks and drinks at any time they please.

Conde Nast says they were impressed by one particular service at The Milestone Hotel. So impressed, in fact, that they made a special category for its distinction.

"Even the most dentist-averse won't be able to resist the fleets of sweets heaped on guests at The Milestone Hotel in London: Housekeeping stops by twice a day, depositing different treats - butter fudge, toffee whirls, and Turkish delight," reported the magazine.

Aussies who wish to experience a Conde Nast Traveller hotel that is closer to home could consider a stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney. For 2012, the facility was recognized for its exceptional service and offering for guests.

“This award is a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication of our employees and their ability to consistently deliver service excellence," Vincent Hoogewijs, the hotel's general manager, said in a statement.

The Four Seasons Hotel Sydney is in an ideal location on the harbour front at Circular Quay, close to many of the interesting and popular attractions in the city. The accommodations themselves boasts spacious guests rooms, an on-site spa and the biggest outdoor pool in Sydney. Guests may spend their whole holiday at the Four Seasons or simply reserve a weekend getaway at this notable hotel.

Regardless if Aussies wish to travel near or far, they will most likely be able to find establishments that have been noted for their achievements that go above and beyond the call of duty. Making plans with these hotels and other companies recognized by Conde Nast may be a great way to organize an upcoming trip and be assured that it will be a satisfying experience.
