World's TOP 10 hotels: Taj Lands End makes the cut!

World's leading online travel agency has placed Taj Lands End at Mumbai on its list of world's best-reviewed hotels. Taj is the only entry from the Asian continent in the top 10 list.

Marrol's Boutique Hotel in Bratislava (Slovakia) was adjudged as the best hotel in the world in Expedia's annual "Insiders' Select" ranking, that was published on Wednesday, the New York Daily News reported.

Expedia's insiders drew up their list from 500,000 assessments provided by the website's users, which have been verified and analyzed.

European and American hotels fill up the top of the list, but there are two outliers in the top 10.

The top spot goes to the Slovakian boutique hotel, followed by Al Codega in Venice, Italy, and the Central American Hotel Royal Corin in Fortuna, Costa Rica, which holds the highest spot of any hotel outside of the US or Europe.

The list includes 650 hotels around the world, with the website only including only the best-rated hotels in its listing, after assessing more than 150,000 hotels and resorts worldwide.
