I read the current mag and saw in the article on the top hotels you erroneously left out, Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, which boasts some great hotels.
Such as the ONLY 7* Hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab and MANY others.
Dubai is now graced by 2 daily flights from NYC, so its well connected to the US.

Any reason for the omission???

Keith...I just CANNOT resist : if you stay there , perhaps it has to do with the quality of clientele???????

Looks like you were having a great time in Cuba. Too bad that paladar was closed when you were there - it's top notch. Oh well...next time. Fly straight!

Lots of great Paladares visited on this last visit. Just a GREAT shame they are threatened with closure, Fidel made a speech on the weekend we left. If anyone know anything??

Mr Savona care to answer my question??

The top of the article explains that we took a different approach to ranking hotels--we polled the experts. Travel journalists, travel agents, hotel critics...etc... The choices were theirs.
