Great Designs to Steal From The World’s Top 10 Hotels in 2017

It’s that time of the year when you should start planning your next vacation (if you didn’t already). With so many destinations and offers to choose from, it can all become overwhelming pretty quickly. Where do you even start from and which criteria do you base your decisions on? TripAdvisor usually comes to mind as a reliable source of information and reviews.

We were curious to find which are the top 10 hotels recommended for 2017 and we weren’t disappointed by the selection. We’ll have a quick look at each of them, pointing out the most important and interesting characteristics in each case. Some have such beautiful architecture and so gorgeous interior designs that we feel really inspired and we’re seriously considering stealing some of these ideas. Maybe you could do the same. Take inspiration from the world’s greatest hotels and transfer their charm into your own home.
