#Jamaica, October 23, 2023 – Jamaica has topped the charts with one of the best hotels in the world, the Ministry of Tourism announced.  The S Hotel located at Jimmy Cliff Boulevard has been ranked as number one in the Caribbean and Central America by Condé Nast Traveller, the world’s top and most prestigious travel magazine, which makes the hotel’s ranking even more impressive.

On a global scale, it ranked 15 on the magazine’s 2023 Best Hotels in the World Reader’s Choice Awards list.

Edmund Bartlett, Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism expressed how exceptional the hotel’s performance is, given it only opened in 2019, a year prior to COVID.

The hotel is Jamaican owned, managed and staffed, the Ministry says in its Facebook announcement on October 10th.

Bartlett, in further speaking on the hotel’s ranking, commended those who helped S Hotel rank as high as it did.

“S Hotel is Jamaican in every sense and they are known to be very meticulous in their operations.  It is good to see Jamaica’s higher end resorts getting this attention – the emphasis on Jamaican culture, first rate service and that family feeling is gaining a lot of traction.  Kudos to the phenomenal team there for continually striving for perfection,” he said.
