PRNewswire -- The editors of Forbes Traveler conducted a poll among their top travel connoisseurs, asking them to rate nearly 800 of the world's best hotels and to name the Single Best Hotel Overall. The common denominator among the panel, which included celebrities, travel industry executives, journalists and business leaders, was that each of these affluent travellers had stayed in at least 20 five-star hotels during the past year. Using criterion such as room quality, service, decor and cuisine, Italy's Villa d'Este stood out among the crowd, coming in at the top of this most prestigious of lists.
