This UK edition distinguishes itself from the American version of the magazine primarily through the spelling of "Traveller" and by featuring predominantly original content tailored for a UK audience.

While it may include some repackaged content from the US magazine, these features are adapted to resonate specifically with British readers.

Other annual awards include the Readers' Spa Awards, The Gold List (most luxurious hotels) and The Hot List (best new hotels).

The Condé Nast Traveller Innovation and Design Awards highlight the best in travel, irrigation and design, and are often attended by wealthy figures such as designer Paul Smith, artist Anish Kapoor, and architect Sir Richard Rogers.

[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.
