It’s the latest award for the Co Laois hotel, arguably Ireland’s most exclusive five-star property, with just 20 bedrooms. It was voted second-best hotel in the world by the Best Hotels in the World and Travel + Leisure this year, and named Ireland’s hotel of the year at the AA Hospitality Awards.

Although the latest awards are dominated by hotels in the United States, Ireland has the same number of entrants – one – as larger tourism countries such as Australia and Greece.

For the first time, all of the properties featured on The Gold List can be booked directly through the Condé Nast Traveller website via its partnership with Expedia.
