Ranking high-end hotels for luxury is a tough job but Hotels.com has just fearlessly come up with a top 10 list. It comes to us by way of the wire services but it goes to show that rest and relaxation matter more than top-notch dining and glittering fixtures.
Take New York City for example. If you’re in town for business and want a place where a good night’s sleep is all but guaranteed, consider booking a room at the Hotel Sofitel New York.

The Waldorf Astoria Orlando also received high marks for spoiling guests with luxurious in-room amenities from Salvatore Ferragamo that go above and beyond soap and shampoo to include face masks, lip balms, and hand and eye creams.
Topping the list is the W Taipei in Taiwan, which draws repeat guests for its central location and contemporary decor and is particularly popular among younger travelers.
