Our Inspectors curated no shortage of hotel lists this year—but this one is all you. The spots below are the hotels you booked most with us in 2024, a collection that represents your favorites across 10 cities around the world. And what does it say about your tastes? You appreciate impeccable style, affordability, and unbeatable locations.
To keep the list varied and highlight a range of destinations, we’ve included only one top-performing hotel per city. While some of these hotels boast Key distinctions and others do not, all are exceptional representatives of the MICHELIN hotel selection, and we’re thrilled to celebrate them here.
Counting down from 10, here are your most-booked hotels worldwide.
10.) The Hotel June
Los Angeles, CA, USAThe recent fires in Los Angeles make this a bittersweet entry to start our countdown, but the Hotel June is everything that makes LA great — and we’re thrilled that so many visitors to the city discovered it in 2024. All of Hotel June’s Southern California properties are currently open, with the hotel donating part of its proceeds to wildfire relief.
9.) Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel
Tokyo, JapanA great pick for first-timers to the city, the Cerulean Tower Tokyu is a western-style hotel, one that brings its guests to the very top of Japan's capital. Set on the 19th to the 40th floors of the Cerulean Tower, the view is unobstructed and spectacular — on a good day you can see Mount Fuji. Check out the Ace Kyoto for a similarly western vibe in Japan.

8.) The Line DC
Washington D.C., USAThere’s a grain of truth to some of the stereotypes about the American capital, but there’s nothing sleepy or unstylish about the LINE’s vision of the city. A century-old church in Adams Morgan provides the venue for a boutique hotel in an of-the-moment bohemian-eclectic style, complete with restaurants and bars that make it a central player in the neighborhood’s dining and nightlife scene.
7.) Il Palazzo Experimental
Venice, ItalyWhen the Il Palazzo Experimental first opened, it infused a youthful cool into a hotel scene that sorely needed it. Not only does its bar, the Experimental Cocktail Club, provide stellar nightlife, but as a hotel it turns the classic gestures of Venetian design into something fresh, contemporary, even sexy.
6.) The Hoxton
Rome, ItalyA Key hotel just central enough in Rome to provide access to all the essential attractions, it's also just peripheral enough to feel like an authentic slice of contemporary Roman life. The nearly 200 rooms are named with an air of honesty — from “Shoebox” to “Biggy” — all decorated in a fresh-yet-familiar style that pays generous tribute to mid-century Italian modernism.
5.) Hotel Pulitzer Barcelona
Barcelona, SpainAs affordable as it is, the Pulitzer is unashamedly upscale, the public spaces festooned with velvet sofas, lacquered bookshelves, and a collection of contemporary and antique artworks. The location, just off Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, is at the heart of the city, placing all the best of Barcelona at your feet.
4.) Esme Miami Beach
Miami, FL, USAFor travelers of certain tastes, the big, established Miami Beach boutique hotels, with their see-and-be-seen atmosphere, can sometimes feel a bit much. Just one block from the Collins Avenue hotel strip, this one's a bit subtler: a Spanish-Mediterranean gem whose bohemian-luxe interiors establish a warm and slightly retro mood.
3.) Hotel Pulitzer Paris
Paris, FranceThe sister hotel to #5 on this list, this time we’re in Paris: at a 9th arrondissement hotel with One MICHELIN Key. Like its sister in Barcelona, the Pulitzer Paris is a sharp-looking blend of early 20th-century glamour and contemporary boutique hotel design, at a scale (44 rooms) that allows it to be both lively and intimate without erring too far in either direction.
2.) The Mayfair Townhouse London
London, UKAs we climb to the penultimate spot on the list, we find a London hotel that consists of not just one Georgian townhouse, but fifteen of them, all on the eye-waveringly posh Half Moon Street. And while certain other parts of Mayfair are far too rich to have a discernible personality, this hotel is up to its neck in colorful, memorable character, making much of its Oscar Wilde associations and packed with whimsical art and design objects.
1.) 11 Howard
New York, NY, USAYour most booked hotel of 2024 is in New York City. In SoHo, to be exact, at a hotel with its own One MICHELIN Star restaurant, Le CouCou. A fitting winner for the very top of this list, it's the work of Anda Andrei, a designer who worked nearly three decades with Ian Schrager, perhaps the pioneer of the boutique hotel movement and one of New York’s most celebrated hoteliers.
