TripAdvisor: Best Hotels on the Web 2004

January 21, 2005 at 11:02 AM | 0 Comments

Just when you thought you'd seen the last of those ubiquitous "Best of 2004" lists, out comes TripAdvisor with their Best Hotels on the Web 2004. Selected using their interesting (and possibly questionable) proprietary "Hotel Popularity Index" which magically takes stock of top hotels around the world based on the quantity and quality of information found about them on the internet, you may want to take the results with a grain of salt.

Still, with articles, TripAdvisor.com member reviews written by the over 10 million worldwide visitors each month, guidebook listings and web comments all being consulted and tallied (those poor interns!), they're getting these rankings from somewhere.

Without further ado, check it out:
