Boujee hotlist: Have you visited Australia's 9 most luxurious hotels?

"Behind every Forbes Travel Guide Star Award lies a thousand small gestures: the concierge who tracks down a hidden cafe beloved by locals, the chef who sources ingredients from a generations-old farm, the spa therapist who crafts custom aromatherapy blends from native flowers," said Forbes.

COMO The Treasury Perth also won 4 stars, indulging with its "48 elegant, understated rooms and suites".

Capella Sydney was awarded four stars. It's where history and contemporary stylings meet in the historical heart of Sydney, in an old Department of Education 1912 building. And the spa is meant to be brilliant.
