The Mr & Mrs Smith Awards results 2014

“When we started Smith in 2003, we set out to find the very best boutique hotels in the UK. Over the last 11 years, we’ve taken that mission all over the world, so this list of 2014 award-winners really does represent the best of the best on the global hotel scene. Choosing from such incredible hotels is a tough job, of course, which is why we asked the public to help, and thanks to them and our panel of specialist judges, we think we’ve arrived at the ultimate hot list.” James Lohan, Co-founder, Mr & Mrs Smith

Best Smith Hotel Winner: Uxua Casa, Brazil

“For me, Uxua Casa is quite simply the most incredible place in the world. It’s set in one of the most naturally spectacular locations in Brazil; right on the beach but close to the brilliantly bohemian town of Trancoso. The hotel itself is rugged, beautiful and incredibly easygoing – one of those rare places that manages to achieve the perfect balance of luxurious and laid-back. I recently sent a couple there on their honeymoon and they came back raving about it – and no wonder: Uxua Casa characterful, colourful and packed to the rafters with romance.”
