Which phrase is correct? "the most unlikely of places" or "the unlikeliest of places"?
I saw "the most unlikely of places" on this page:

But Lexico dictionary shows the superlative degree for unlikely is unlikeliest:

Answer

If I have to be super picky, I would say that "the unlikeliest of places" sounds a little more formal to some but both are correct and natural.

As another, more simple and modern alternative, you could just say "in the strangest of places".
