Hotels have ratings. They can be four star, five star, (or even seven star if they’re super duper fancy) and hotels can boast, and up prices depending on that rating.

But these days, what’s a more deserving accolade? A couple of stars on a gold embossed plaque? Or the most Instagram tags of 2016? Clearly the latter. Because if someone goes to the trouble of telling Instagram where they’re staying at, it usually means that hotel must be pretty great. 

Which is why we weren’t totally shocked when this Dubai hotel made the list

The Atlantis on the Palm came in at number four on the list. If you ask us, it was a pretty obvious pick in the list of top 10 places for Instagram’s ‘flashback Friday,’ where they review and post the top hashtags of the year gone by. 

Take a look at the rest of the list in descending order…

(Most of these are in Vegas, so we’re pretty chuffed with the Atlantis position on this list)
