This year’s honorees include The Broadmoor, located in Colorado Springs, Colo., winning five stars for the 50th consecutive year. Its restaurant, The Penrose Room, and spa, The Spa at The Broadmoor, also earned five-star reviews for the first time this year.

Other five-star properties include Altira Macau in Macau; Montage Beverly Hills in California; the Four Seasons Hualalai at Hawaii; the Tower Suites at Encore in Las Vegas; and The Peninsula in New York City.
