In the hope that we start to see travel open up, what are some of your favorite hotels anywhere in the world? Here are a few of my favorites in no particular order. Photos lifted from Google as I'm too lazy to dig out mine.
1.) Conrad Koh Samui, Thailand
Incredibly unique property with all buildings on stilts in the side of a mountain overlooking the sea. Golf carts transport you around the resort from building to building because it is too steep to walk.

2.) Hotel Mueller, Germany
A favorite spot for BMW European Delivery - a very authentic Bavarian hotel at the base of Castle Neuschwanstein in a delightful little town called Hohenschwangau.

3.) Hanson Bay Cabins, Kangaroo Island Australia.
Pictures don't do this place justice - one of the most picturesque settings on Earth, hands down. Sadly, most of the vegetation and buildings in this area burned last year. They are working on rebuilding.

4.) Ritz Carlton, Hong Kong
Highest hotel in the world when I stayed there. There's nothing like staying on the 118th floor of a hotel. Exceptional service, as well. They noted my birthday on my passport during check-in. After coming back from birthday dinner out in the city, there was a cake in my room with lit candles burning. They had noted me returning to my room, got ahead of me and lit the candles within seconds of me opening the door. This hotel is on the Kowloon side so you get a view of the Hong Kong side, which looks small when you're up so high.

5.) Enigma Suites Santorini, Greece
Quaint little B&B style hotel built into the mountain in Fira Santorini overlooking the sea. The rooms are like caves carved into the mountain. A very unique and memorable hotel.

6.) Park Hyatt Tokyo, Japan
This place has a certain specialness to it that is hard to describe. Whether it's due to the Lost in Translation connection, or something else, I'm not sure. The rooftop pool is killer and the way the hotel is built across adjoining towers is really neat. The rooms are dated and below average for the price point, however, and the location is not great for a tourist.

7. Raffles Phnom Penh, Cambodia
I loved this hotel - it makes you feel like a British explorer from the 1800's. The Elephant Bar inside has to be one of the coolest bars in the world.
