What are the Top Luxury Resorts, Hotels and Destinations to Visit, by Month? TravelSort Clients often ask the best places to go in March, June, November, etc. mostly based on weather, especially average rainfall vs. sunny days (although for skiing, fresh powder is of course a plus).
If our recommendations seem Asia-heavy, it's because even within luxury hotel groups such as Four Seasons and Rosewood, service is often better at the top Asia hotels, compared to other destinations.
