Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 24 (23+1) I cant find better hotel wonders than this once, and this is not bias speaking, I mean I genuinely cant find better hotel wonders that have the history that this one has. It has a prominent location overlooking Quebec City and it's architecturally beautiful. Popular figures in politics, and entertainment have visited the Chateau. The architecture itself is uniquely Canadian, it takes elements of both British and French styles. Plus the CN Tower already had its time in Civ5, it's time for a new Canadian Wonder to take the stage.
Citadel of Qaitbay - 15
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 23
Humayun's Tomb - 19
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 10
Temple of Heaven - 25

Please downvote another wonder
 
Skipped Guatenadian's vote because of lacking downvote.

Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 23
Citadel of Qaitbay - 15
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 23+1=24 - The Tower of Babel!
Humayun's Tomb - 19
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 10-3=7 - Surely a great theatre, but visually similar to Bolshoi Theatre, and another Industrial Era theatre isn't a very big priority to me...
Temple of Heaven - 25
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 23
Citadel of Qaitbay - 15 - 3 = 12 Less interesting on the list.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 24
Humayun's Tomb - 19
Krak des Chevaliers - 26 + 1 = 27 This would be a great addition. We need castles.
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 7
Temple of Heaven - 25
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 23
Citadel of Qaitbay - (12-3)=9 Is built upon an actual wonder, but I find it mediocre.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 24
Humayun's Tomb - 19
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - (20+1)=21 I find it a decent choice for a Portuguese wonder. Plus it's the inspiration for Maria's background in BNW.
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 7
Temple of Heaven - 25
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 24 (23+1) Already stated reason.
Citadel of Qaitbay - 6 (9-3) If we were to get another fortress wonder, Krak des Chevaliers would be the better choice.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 24
Humayun's Tomb - 19
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22

Apologies everyone, had a busy day and down-voting a wonder slipped my mind.
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 24
Citadel of Qaitbay - 6
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 24
Humayun's Tomb - 19
Krak des Chevaliers - 24 (27 - 3) -- I really want to see Krak des Chevaliers, but I don't think it's the first place wonder on this list.
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 21
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 7
Temple of Heaven - 26 (25 + 1) -- This, however, is.
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 24
Citadel of Qaitbay - 6 - 3 = 3 This must fall before the Teatro Cólon
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 24
Humayun's Tomb - 19 + 1 = 20 Too few points, returning this to the 20 points.
Krak des Chevaliers - 24
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 21
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 7
Temple of Heaven - 26
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 24 + 1 = 25 Go go industrial/modern hotel wonders!
Citadel of Qaitbay - 3 - 3 = ELIMINATED It occupying the site of the Great Lighthouse hurts more
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 24
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 24
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 21
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 7
Temple of Heaven - 26
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 26 (25 + 1) Picturesque and unique, and being a hotel its bonuses would be different from yet another temple, which we've seen plenty of already.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 24
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 24
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 21
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 4 (7 - 3) Not very wondrous if you ask me.
Temple of Heaven - 26
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 26
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 24+1=25 - Civ needs a huge Ziggurat as a wonder. I want either this or the Ziggurat of Ur.
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 24
Naqsh-e Rustam - 22
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 21
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 4-3=1 - Visually similar to Bolshoi Theatre, and another Industrial Era theathre isn't exactly what the game needs right now.
Temple of Heaven - 26
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 23 (26 - 3) -- It's pretty, but not significant enough to be leading this list.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 25
Humayun's Tomb - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 24
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23 (22 + 1) -- Inconceivable that a hotel is ahead of the royal necropolis of the Achaemenids and Sassanids. :(
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 21
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23

Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 23
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 25
Humayun's Tomb - 21 (20 + 1) At least it's not another castle on a hill.
Krak des Chevaliers - 24
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 21
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - ELIMINATED (1 - 3) BOOORING.
Temple of Heaven - 26
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 24 (23+1) A tourism wonder in the Industrial Era would be amazing.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 25
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 24
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 18 (21-3) I just don't like the look of this palace.
Prambanan - 25
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 23
Temple of Heaven - 26
 
Château Frontenac was also the location of the Quebec Conference, in which Winston Churchill, FDR, and William Lyon Mackenzie King discussed strategy for World War II in 1943.

It is also the most photographed hotel in the world, given how prominent it is in Quebec City's skyline.
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 24 + 1 = 25 We can think outside the box in so many religious wonders. The tourist/cultural wonders are very interesting too.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 25
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 24
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 18
Prambanan - 25 - 3 = 22 Decisions are harder now, I am sure that all the structures on the list are interesting and worthy to include in the game. There are many temples on the list, and I do not want to see a reign of religious wonders again. Prambanan strikes me as visually similar to Angkor Wat and I prefer Borobudur to represent Indonesia.

Swayambhunath - 23
Temple of Heaven - 26-3=23 - I don't think it's worthy enough to be the leader :P

Swayambhunath - (23-3)=20 I think there's better Nepalese wonders to choose from.
Temple of Heaven - (23+1)=24 I think it would make a distinctive wonder.

Kimiimaro, you pick on Temple of Heaven instead of Dhammayangyi Temple? Shame on you! :p

To Xandinho, I think religious wonders are hard to avoid, humans usually build impressive structures for faith.

It would be a third Chinese wonder and a second wonder from Beijing... Nepal has no wonders yet :p

Dhammayangyi is in Burma.
Plus I think Swayambhunath is a poor choice for a Nepali Wonder.
Can't complain about too many Chinese wonders, when the Greeks have/and will have many....:p
