Methodology
The star rating system is run by a team of inspectors who travel around the world to anonymously evaluate hotels, restaurants and spas according to 900 objective items. The rating mainly highlights the quality of service. Five Star Properties are defined as “remarkable, often iconic, with virtually impeccable service and incredible facilities”.
