House & Garden

House & Garden's hotel selections are made by its editorial team, which reviews the hotels, designers and openings covered by the magazine over the preceding year and chooses the properties it considers most notable. There is no reader ballot or external judging panel published for these round-ups, the criteria are editorial rather than scored. The magazine's perspective is design-led, consistent with its interiors focus, so properties are typically singled out for their architecture, decoration and atmosphere. Pearl treats each round-up as a separate edition tied to its publication date and runs its own venue-matching process to link the named hotels to Pearl venue profiles.

House & Garden has been published by Condé Nast in Britain since 1947, its travel coverage brings an interiors editor's eye to hotels in London and further afield. Pearl currently maps 2 lists from the title.

House & Garden is a British interiors, design and lifestyle magazine published by Condé Nast since 1947. Its core subject is the home; decoration, architecture, gardens and the designers behind them; and its travel section extends that focus to hotels and stays chosen for their design character. In the January 2025 issue the title introduced its first Travel Guide and an accompanying set of Travel Awards recognising hotels, designers and innovators in luxury hospitality.

House & Garden's hotel round-ups and Travel Awards are chosen by the magazine's editorial team, which assesses the hotels, designers and openings it has covered over the preceding year. No public vote, inspection programme or external jury is published for these selections, the criteria applied are editorial judgements about design, atmosphere and quality rather than numeric scores. Pearl performs a separate step after publication, matching the hotels named by House & Garden to Pearl venue profiles; that matching is Pearl's own process and does not involve the magazine.

House & Garden is one of the longest-running British design titles, published continuously since 1947, it holds significant authority in the UK interiors and luxury hospitality conversation. Its hotel selections are cited by properties that want to signal design credibility to a British audience in particular. Recognition is editorial attention from a specialist design publication rather than a competitive or audited award result.
