Categories are Top 25 of the world, United States, Europe, Japan, India, China and Hong Kong/Macao/Taiwan. For category wise it is top 10 of Bargain, All-inclusive, Romance, B&B/Inns, Luxury, Relaxation/Spa, Trendiest, Best Service (categorized per area) and Europe favorite hotels.

I don't know exactly how this list is pulled, but I believe its based on readers hotel review and if the hotel maintains its positioning and hotel satisfaction/quality, they are then selected at the year end or early of the year. Thus VOILA your favorite hotel list!

I'm happy that my former hotel - Fairmont has made it to number 4 of top 25 China hotels.
