By Erik Bergin on April 19, 2012

BEST HOTELS. The Condé Nast Traveler magazine has published its 16th New Hotels Hot List, this year covering 121 hotels in 49 countries. If you’re out of ideas – and value lodging high – this is a good source of inspiration.

The list covers, for instance, the Mio Buenos Aires, a “13-story design hotel with an opaque-glass exterior on a jacaranda-lined block in swanky Recoleta”, the Fasano Boa Vista in Porto Feliz, with its “thirty-nine rooms in a row of concrete blocks on a 2,750-acre country estate, 60 miles from downtown São Paulo”, as well as the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, which “looms over the landscape like the lair of one of Batman’s villains and wouldn’t look out of place in Dubai.”
