From hot new hotels to family-friendly fun

Tripadvisor, the world’s largest online travel guidance platform, recently released its 2022 Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best rankings for Singapore, Asia and the world.

It has identified top stays in six continents and 90 countries that have been highly rated by travellers on its platform. 

In the Hottest New Hotels category, Adiwana Suweta took the top spot worldwide. Here's a look at other top stays.

Bali's Adiwana Suweta takes top spot as the world's Hottest New Hotel. The 34-room hotel pipped other contenders from the United States, Europe and South America to the post with its stunning design and locale.

Renowned Indonesian architect Popo Danes created a resort with spacious suites and private pool villas surrounded by dense foliage and towering tropical trees, strategically located in the midst of bustling Ubud central.

Bali has also snagged wins in other categories this year with Padma Resort Ubud, The Royal Purnama and Viceroy Bali hotels and resorts.

It does not get any better with Greece's Ikos Aria hotel's five-star accommodation featuring 370 rooms, grand getaways and impeccable service.

Ikos Aria tops the Luxury list with high ratings from guests who rave about the hotel's five pools, seven restaurants and nine bars that are designed around breathtaking beachfront views.

It snatched the crown from others in the category, such as Como Cocoa Island in the Maldives and Pimalai Resort and Spa in Krabi, Thailand.

In this category, children get to vote as well, and they have given the Alpino Baby Family Hotel in Andalo, Italy, their tiny thumbs-up. Alpino is the No. 1 hotel for parents with children in tow as the resort is designed to cater to every need.

It features different types of rooms for families of every size, a game room spanning 250 sq m, a library, a cinema room and a water park, among other goodies for infants and tiny tots. Alpino is also close to a range of hot spots for summer mountain trekking and winter skiing.

Small stays can make a big impression and the quaint White House Hotel in Istanbul is not only an Instagram star, but has also snagged the highest ratings on Tripadvisor.

The White House Hotel's rooftop terrace is one of its star attractions, where travellers sip piping hot Turkish coffee at sunrise and take in views of the storied Ottoman megapolis that is Istanbul.

The architecture of the hotel is an amalgam of East and West and the location is perfect for leisurely walks along cobbled pathways to nearby museums, historical sites and cosy streetside cafes.

In the Best Bed & Breakfast and Inn category, the eight-room Toulson Court in Scarborough, Britain, takes the coveted top spot for the second consecutive year.

The British hospitality gem is lauded by guests for providing a "home away from home" through its cosy design, which features lots of old-fashioned timber and stucco, as well as the warmth of the hotel's hosts when welcoming their guests. Guests have even posted "We don't want to leave" in their glowing reviews.
