The Best Hotels in the World

Totally subjective based  exclusively on my own personal experience

• The old Plaza Hotel ( New York)
• The George V (Paris, before it became a Four Seasons Hotel)
• The New Otani (Tokyo)
• The Villa D'este (Lake Como)
• Due Torri (Verona)
• Gritti Palace (Venice)
• Claridge's (London)
• The Hilton (Hong Kong)
• The Beverly Wilshire (Beverly Hills)
• The Four Seasons Costa Rica

Three of the best are in Italy. The Italians do a few things right- hotel keeping, cooking, making and wearing clothes and manufacturing fine cars. If, "living well is the best revenge", living in Italy is the supreme vendetta.
