Today, we're ranking some of the world's most iconic pop culture hotels. From Kardashian vacation villas in Bora Bora to the real White Lotus resort in Thailand, these hotels have become destinations in their own right. But are they truly worth the hype, or are they just famous because celebrities stayed there?

TPG's Bella and Senior Hotels Reporter Tanner debate 11 legendary hotels from around the world, ranking each one based on luxury, value, celebrity appeal and whether we'd actually recommend booking a stay. Expect hot takes, surprising placements and plenty of disagreements along the way.

• Conrad Bora Bora Nui
• Four Seasons Koh Samui (The White Lotus)
• Park Hyatt Tokyo
