Hotels.com recently unveiled its list of the top 1% of hotels on its platform, dubbing them the Perfect Somewheres 2024. This exclusive group of over 700 hotels, with around 200 of them located in the U.S., was meticulously selected using Hotels.com’s proprietary guest-experience data. This data takes into account various factors such as traveler reviews, interactions with staff, ratings of property facilities, and overall condition.
A number of the winning hotels are part of the VIP Access program, which means they offer additional perks to members. Hotels.com is positioning the Perfect Somewheres list as the ultimate authority for travelers seeking the best possible hotel experience. Among the prestigious Perfect Somewheres hotels are the luxurious Four Seasons Resort in Koh Samui, the trendy Hotel Chapter Roma in Rome, the elegant Ohla Barcelona in Barcelona, and the chic Prospect Hollywood in Los Angeles.
The introduction of the Perfect Somewheres program by Hotels.com aims to address a common problem that many travelers face. According to online research conducted among U.S. adults, 55% of respondents reported feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of hotel options available. Additionally, 27% said they spent more than 10 hours researching hotels, while 28% gave up their search due to its time-consuming nature.
Redefining Excellence in Hospitality
Unlike most awards programs that rely solely on reviews or focus exclusively on luxury, Hotels.com’s new awards program shines a spotlight on hotels that go above and beyond to create extraordinary experiences for guests. Lauri Metrose, Expedia Group’s senior vice president of global communications, emphasized that the Perfect Somewheres list recognizes hotels that elevate the travel journey for guests, regardless of their star rating.
To celebrate the launch of the Perfect Somewheres program, Hotels.com is hosting a consumer contest. From now until May 29, travelers from the U.S. and U.K. have the opportunity to participate in the contest, with the winner receiving a year’s worth of hotel stays. This exciting contest adds an extra layer of excitement to the already prestigious Perfect Somewheres 2024 list.
The Perfect Somewheres list curated by Hotels.com represents the epitome of excellence in the hospitality industry. By recognizing and showcasing hotels that prioritize guest experience and offer exceptional service, Hotels.com is setting a new standard for what constitutes a truly remarkable hotel stay.
