The Peninsula Manila, the ‘Manila Pen,’ as Manileños fondly call it, is truly one of the best hotels in the world—and for U.S. Associate Editor Matt Ortile, it’s where he was practically raised. More than just luxurious, it is a proud, bustling slice of Filipino culture. Having checked in more times than he can count, Matt considers this iconic spot a Gold List stay, a place that feels more like home than a hotel. The Gold List is our annual collection of our favorite hotels and cruises around the world, passionately selected by our international editors as their favorite places to stay.

If there’s one thing you’re assured on the Rocky Mountaineer, it’s an endless panorama of incredible scenery. Since its first voyage in 1990, the tourist train service has built its reputation on offering access to Western Canada’s wildest landscapes—framed from within luxury glass-domed cars. But if there’s one route that remains its flag-bearer, it is the First Passage to the West. It’s a journey that takes two days, setting out from the coastal city of Vancouver and cutting through the meandering rivers and craggy peaks of the Canadian Rockies before ending in the resort town of Banff—in other words, about 600 miles of prime Pacific Northwest territory.

Set inside London’s historic Whiteley Building, Six Senses London brings the brand’s signature wellness ethos to one of the world’s busiest cities, and we were the First Guests to experience it. The hotel is just a short walk from movie-famous Notting Hill, but inside is a retreat from its buzzy streets and tourist hotspots. Towering ceilings, dark-wood furniture, and statement chairs, decorated with graphic prints and boucle fabrics, make this a place you simply want to be.
