Condé Nast Traveler Unveils Its 12^th Annual Hot List

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Just in time for summer getaways, spa weekends and nights out on the town, learn about the world’s hottest hotels, restaurants, spas and nightclubs (some even in your own back yard) directly from the experts at Condé Nast Traveler. This year’s 2008 hot list uncovers the latest travel trends including hotels that incorporate local inspirations into the décor as well as the latest boom of ecofriendly hotels, “market-style” restaurants that combine a great meal with a neighborhood market, and the hottest nightspots for all of your after-hours fun. Unlike many other travel publications, Condé Nast Traveler does not accept free travel and accommodations, and its correspondents, as far as possible, travel anonymously. The result is travel the way consumers experience it – good and bad, with reporting that is fair and honest.
