The Haymarket Hotel in London was ranked as the UK’s best hotel, while Gili Lankanfushi Maldives, on the North Male Atoll of the Maldives, took the title of the world’s top hotel for 2015.

The Travellers’ Choice Awards honour the world’s most outstanding properties in the categories of top hotels, bargain, B&Bs and inns, family, luxury, romance, and small hotels.

The awards take into account the quality and quantity of traveller reviews and opinions and traveller ratings specific to each award category.

James Kay, a TripAdvisor spokesman, said: “These awards recognise the finest hotels across the globe, according to those that really matter - the guests themselves.

“This year is particularly good news for the UK hotel industry, with the UK home to more of the world’s best rated properties than other country.”
