Two of Cyprus’s most iconic hotels, the Annabelle and the Anassa, have once again distinguished themselves on the international luxury hospitality scene, securing major accolades at the 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards hosted by the leading travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller.
The Readers’ Choice Awards are one of the most recognized institutions in the international tourism industry, as each year the magazine’s readers themselves vote to select their favorite hotels, resorts, destinations, airlines, and other travel experiences from around the world. These accolades hold special significance, as they reflect the personal experiences and preferences of the travelers themselves.
