Singita Sasakwa Lodge
 

Travel hot list: 25 best holiday destinations for 2012

Destination: Tanzania
Where to stay: Singita Sasakwa Lodge.
The remote western edges of the Serengeti may be the last place you would expect to find an Edwardian lodge but that is the best way of describing this award-winning hotel. Whether you choose to stay in the stone-walled villas or the more adventurous safari tents, accommodation is of the highest order. Infinity pools, private wood-panelled libraries and thick Arabian rugs set a luxurious tone. But the spectacular setting – overlooking an elephant watering hole and the expansive migration plains beyond – is the crowning glory.

What to do: Safari morning, noon and night if you can. Resident conservationists operate eco-friendly tours and educate visitors about the animals' natural habitats. After your stay keep track of the local lions, zebras, rhinos and more on the resort's animal blog.

Details: Singita Grumeti Reserve, Tanzania. $1,200-1,700 per night.

Guys, seriously? 10 hotels out of 25 are Ritz-Carlton hotels: are you telling me that they outnumber everybody else? I understand that a bit of sponsorship from time to time does not hurt, but this is a bit much... And by the way, this also explains why no Greece: no Ritz-Carltons there!

I loved the Geneva suggestion; spend 50000 USD on a hotel room then go visit the red cross museum to remmeber the less fortunate! Is this a joke?

I don't understand how you could miss out on Greece. One of the best paces around to visit and re-visit. Be it natural beauty, history, architecture or culture. It deserves a place in the top 25. Perhaps 2 for 'America' were not necessary. I also fail to see how you can not take into account the indentity of the hundreds of millions of Americans who are not from the USA by labelling the United States simply as America. Citizens of the other 21 countries also live in America. Some would take offence.

Mumbai is hot and the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is a fairy-tale. An amazing hotel with a special mixture of guests. They do everything for you - the staff sniffs out your issues before you even realize those by yourself: Just go there and enjoy!
