Forbes unveils lists of world’s most luxurious hotels, spas

Singapore's Mandarin Oriental, Fullerton Bay Hotel are listed

For the first time ever, Forbes Travel Guide has created two "best of" lists highlighting 2018's World's Most Luxurious Hotels and World's Most Luxurious Spas, with 58 hotels and 30 spas across the globe receiving this honour.

The Verified Lists are compiled from data gathered by the company's incognito inspectors, who stay at the properties and evaluate them on up to 900 standards used to determine the guide's annual Star Ratings, which were announced in February.

Among the Verified Lists, eight properties emerged as double winners, with both their hotel and spa earning recognition.

In Singapore, the winning hotels and spas are Mandarin Oriental, Fullerton Bay Hotel and The Spa at Mandarin Oriental.

Here are some of the top destinations that made it to the Forbes list:
