Who Made The Condé Nast Traveler Hot List?

It's that time of the year again folks when Condé Nast Traveler puts forth their annual Hot List.

The 140 hotels on this list include the three newest Los Angeles-area hotels--The Montage Beverly Hills, The London West Hollywood and the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills. In New York, The Greenwich Hotel and The Thompson LES are the stand-outs. Down in Miami, new hotels made the list as well like The Viceroy, The Fontainebleau and The Mondrian South Beach, Miami Beach, Fla.

In Europe, we were pleasantly surprised to see that Citizen M made the list and in Asia, several of the new hotels that opened in time for the Beijing Olympics made the list as well.

We're still going through the list as we type (it also includes restaurants, nightlife and spas) but already we've spotted a questionable selection. It's the Arctic Club Hotel in Seattle which will turn into a Doubletree in May and has downgraded itself from a four star hotel to a three star hotel. While an eye-pleasing place to spend the night, the hotel has also suffered from terrible service.

Hopefully, with a Hot List award under its belt and the expert staff training from Doubletree, this hotel will manage to find its footing.
