Team Arbiter has spoken: these were our Favorite Hotel Stays of 2025.
In Ask The Arbiter, we open up our team’s little black book and weigh in on the travel topics that matter most. As the year comes to a close, we’re looking back on the hotel stays that defined our 2025. As a team, we checked into more properties than we can reasonably count — yet each of us can name the one that rose above the rest.
