The Town & Country Hotel Awards: The Best New Hotels in the World 2026!

We are delighted to share that Bertie and Victoria Dyer, co-founders of India Beat, has been invited to contribute their expertise to Town & Country’s 2026 selection of the world’s best new hotels.

Published in April 2026, The 47 Best New Hotels Around the World in 2026 brings together recommendations from an international group of leading travel advisors and experts. Bertie and Victoria are included among the publication’s expert roundtable, sharing their knowledge of some of the most exciting new hotels around the world.

For Bertie, the invitation reflects many years spent travelling extensively, visiting hotels first-hand and building close relationships with the people behind them. His approach has always been to look beyond a hotel’s design or facilities and understand what it adds to the experience of a destination.

This is particularly important when travelling in India, where the right hotel can become a gateway to a landscape, community or culture. From historic palaces and wilderness lodges to contemporary retreats, we believe that choosing where to stay is an integral part of creating a memorable journey.

Bertie and Victoria’s inclusion in Town & Country’s expert roundtable is a wonderful recognition of this first-hand knowledge and the relationships that underpin our approach to travel.
