Condé Nast Traveler’s 2012 Hot List

Last year when Condé Nast Traveler announced their 2011 Hot List of New Hotels, I mentioned that I was surprised not to see new star on the Bangkok hotel scene, Hansar Bangkok listed. I surmised at the time that perhaps the 5 months between the opening of the Hansar, and the publishing of the Hot List wasn’t enough time to get somebody out there to check it out. (Oh why didn’t they call me!? sniffle)

It looks like they have gotten around to sending somebody since then and the Hansar, along with the St Regis, as well as a new hotel to me, the Casa de la Flora in Khao Lak have been included in the 2012 list of hottest new hotels in the world.

Casa De La Flora earned 2 “flames” which warranted a full write up in the magazine. The other two only received one “flame” each, relegating their write-ups to the website and iPad app. Here is what the Hot List says about each hotel.
