From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Prague hotel has been voted the best in the world by users of the hotel review site TripAdvisor, according to data released January 19.
The Golden Well (U Zlate Studne) hotel in the Czech capital topped the list from TripAdvisor for the second year running - last time it was recognized as the best luxury (4 & 5 star) hotel in the world.
Despite having only 17 rooms and two suites, the hotel offers the services of a much larger property, such as wine upon arrival and a rooftop restaurant, clearly making it a hit with users of the review site.
In second place were the Anastatis Apartments in Santorini, Greece, described by one TripAdvisor user as "nothing but the best," while the Ried Le Calife in Fez, Morocco won third place.
Somewhat surprisingly, none of the top hotels in the world were in the US - six were in Europe, while Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Asia boasted one each.
The result were compiled using a combination of the site's Popularity Index and traveler ratings of specific property attributes.
