These Are The 10 Best Hotels In Europe According To ‘50 Best’
24.09.2023 - 17:07 / forbes.com / Lake Como / Art
The #1 hotel in the world, along with another 20 on the list of the 50 Best Hotels in 2023, is in Europe.
The new ranking of award-winning hotels is the debut edition by the ‘50 Best’ organization that has been annually publishing The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and The World’s 50 Best Bars.
The ranking is assembled from votes from 580 international hotel and travel experts (with a 50/50 gender balance).
Passalacqua, a luxury 18th-century villa overlooking Lake Como in Italy, was named the best hotel in the world this year from the list featuring the 50 best hotels from 35 destinations across six continents.
The beautiful villa surrounded by terraced gardens and managed by the De Santis family, who also are behind the Grand Hotel Tremezzo also at Lake Como, was the former home of composer Vincenzo Bellini.
The hotel offers 24 rooms spread out over three buildings: the main villa, the eight-room Palazzo (housed in the former stables with original, massive exposed beams) and the four-suite Casa al Lago down by the lake, with rates starting at $1,300 per night.
“The hotel showcases the finest Italian craftsmanship in a sumptuous riot of ornate Baroque elegance,” 50 Best explains. ”With original frescoes and ceiling carvings that are further embellished with gilded mirrors, 19th-century portraits, lacquered antique tables, Murano chandeliers and Il Bronzetto light fittings. Outside, seven acres of perfectly manicured terraced gardens with olive groves, mimosa, roses and magnolia lead to the sexy pool terrace dotted with vibrant JJ Martin-designed parasols that add a cheeky, fashionable flair to the otherwise classic opulence.”
The others of the nearly half awarded properties that are located in Europe include:
The Four Seasons Firenze hotel is also in Italy and housed within Florence’s largest private garden at the beautifully restored 15th-century Medici palace.
“An oasis of Italian tranquil luxury” where guests are greeted by “grand floral displays and frescoes, before being shown to one of its 116 bedrooms adorned in antique furnishings,” the 50 Best organization writes.
The hotel, opened in 2008, offers 116 bedrooms starting at $1,000 per night. Of these, 79 are in the Palazzo della Gherardesca and 37 in the Villa, a former 16th-century convent graced with its own reception and butler service.
The hotel also features the Michelin-starred Italian restaurant, Il Palagio.
The Aman Venice hotel with its faultless location under the legendary Rialto Bridge in the San Polo district feels far from the crowds of San Marco but still is within walking distance and housed in the 16th-century Palazzo Papadopoli.
Described as a “seductive blend of resplendent Italian aristocracy and the slick understatement that

6 places to see the Northern Lights in Europe
The fascination with theNorthern Lights dates as far back as the beginning of civilization, with the dancing waves of coloured light depicted in French cave paintings as old as 30,000 BC. Typically, they’re only seen in the northern parts of the Northern Hemisphere, near the Arctic Circle, on dark, clear autumn and winter nights. The lights are dependent on unpredictable solar flares ejecting charged particles that collide with gases in the atmosphere, so any trip to see the Northern Lights runs the risk of missing out on the spectacle altogether.
