Looking for a getaway where the hotel is every bit as memorable as the destination itself?
Ranking guide La Liste has revealed the winners of its Discovery Gem Hotel Awards for 2026, recognising five little-known stays that are worth the booking.
Self-styled as "the world’s most selective guide for discerning gourmets and travellers”, La Liste compiles its rankings using 370 expert sources across 200 countries and 7,200 establishments to create its guide of the world’s top stays.
This year's Discovery Gem Hotel Awards feature just two European properties. Here are the five that made the cut.
