More than 575,000 Conde Nast Traveler readers across the United States submitted responses evaluating their travel experiences all over the world to supply a comprehensive overview of the places they’re more likely to visit again.
The Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards poll was made available via a secure website at cntraveler.com/vote, in response to its methodology. The results of this 12 months's survey were compiled by Conde Nast from a whole bunch of hundreds of respondents who submitted reviews from April 1 to June 30 of this 12 months.
The questionnaire included lists of candidates in various categories, and every candidate must receive a required minimum variety of responses and a minimum overall rating to be considered for a Readers' Choice Award, Condé Nast said. Candidates are assessed on a set of criteria relevant to their category, based on a regular five-point scale converted right into a percentage – excellent, superb, good, fair and poor. The average of those evaluations determines the ultimate grade.
For example, the Ritz-Carlton New York, Nomad, the primary hotel in New York City, achieved a rating of 98.29, which is the typical rating it received from respondents across all relevant criteria – rooms, location, service , dining, activities, amenities, design, concierge, community investment, and spa and wellness.
