 Observations from HospitalityEducators.com on the "Best Hotel in the World"

We all have preconceived notions of the word "best".  When defining the "best hotel in the world", that definition will likely have different connotations for most of us.

Does the "best" have to be part of a brand? Does it need to be in a major city?

Must it have all of the latest in high tech amenities, or does high touch play more of a role?

In these days of instant communication of information, traveler reviews, 3rd party quality assessments and more, identifying the "best" may be a challenge.  Or perhaps not.

Travel + Leisure just declared Singita Grumeti Reserves in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park to be the best hotel in the world.

It received a score of 98.44 out of 100 on a list based on reader surveys.
The hotel, which is made up of two lodges and a tent camp, offers unparalleled luxury in the thick of the wild.

It is located on the migratory route traversed annually by more than a million wildebeest, providing guests with incredible photo opportunities from their bedroom windows.
Despite its remote location, Singita's guests are treated to five-star service and accommodations.

Rooms in the tents and villas start at around $1,095(54000RS) per person per night; rates include daily game drives, food, and drink.
