The 2013 Grand Awards

Introducing the 2013 Grand Award winners, including the Hideaway of the Year winner, Awasi, in Chile's spellbinding Atacama Desert. Each year, we have the pleasure of recalling our travel experiences over the past 12 months and singling out a number of particularly memorable hotels and resorts. To be considered for our annual awards, properties must be relatively small in size, possess strong individual personalities, offer relaxing atmospheres and demonstrate a consistent devotion to personal service. Click through on the list below to explore the 2013 Grand Award winners, plus a number of additional Special Recognition Awards for Best Spa, Best Pool, Best Bar and more!
