There are new Florida hotels that scream luxury and will make you feel like you never want to leave your rental suite. Two of them were ranked the best stays in the world and they won't disappoint.

Travel + Leisure's best 100 new hotels list dropped and named the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale at No. 12 and The Tampa EDITION at No. 41. For two new vacation spots to hit the top 50, with one still under a year old, is a pretty big deal!

From oceanfront views and even bluer pools, you can sunbathe your worries away. There are a lot of similarities at both locations, but they are totally different experiences.
