Travel and Leisure magazine has released their list of the world’s best hotels for 2013.  What I find very interesting is that 5 out of the top 10, including #1 are ecolodges!  4 of them are safari lodges in Africa and one is in Costa Rica and appears to be frequented by Scarlet Macaws.  You have to scroll through one of those slide-shows to see all 50 of them  but it’s pretty interesting if you are looking for “aspirational” hotels to stay at.  Unfortunately, very few on the list are available on hotel points.

No. 1 Mombo Camp and Little Mombo Camp, Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana

No. 4 Nayara Hotel, Spa & Gardens, La Fortuna, Costa Rica
