Condé Nast Traveller is published by Condé Nast Publications Ltd, from The Adelphi, City of Westminster, London.[1] It is a luxury travel magazine aimed at the upmarket, independent traveller.
It can be differentiated from the American version of the magazine because of the UK spelling of the word Traveller, and contains mainly original UK content, though some features are used from the US magazine and repackaged for a UK audience.
Condé Nast Traveller was started in 1997.[2] Its first editor was Sarah Miller.[2] The current Editorial Director is Divia Thani and the publishing director is Simon Leadsford.
The magazine runs several industry-recognized awards, the most important being the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Awards, which take place every year. Other annual awards include the Readers' Spa Awards, The Gold List (most luxurious hotels) and The Hot List (best new hotels). The latter two are compiled from recommendations from the magazine's editors and writers.
The Condé Nast Traveller Innovation and Design Awards highlight the best in travel, irrigation and design, and are often attended by high-profile figures such as designer Paul Smith, artist Anish Kapoor, and architect Sir Richard Rogers.
As of 2007 the magazine was the recipient of 39 awards, including the PPA Consumer Lifestyle Magazine of the Year 2007.[2] In August 2018, Condé Nast Traveller and the American version, Condé Nast Traveler, were combined under a single editorial structure that is led by Divia Thani.[3]
