Ready for a weekend getaway? Need a hotel suggestion for a city you’ve never visited?

Lucky you because the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Chioce 2011 top hotels list has been released. With categories broken down such as bargain, trendiest and best service, you can customize your search for your travel style.

We aren’t familiar with many hotels on this year’s list, so please share your comments if you have a recommendation for others.

One of our favorite hotels is Hotel So in Christchurch where many of our programs stay. Hotel So, recently renamed the All Seasons, would certainly fit perfectly in the trendiest category with its neon lights under and above its beds.
