A Five-Star hotel represents the ultimate in sophistication and luxury.
Guests can expect first class accommodations,
consistently superlative service and careful attention to detail in all
aspects of their stay. Amenities typically include heated swimming
pools, whirlpool tubs, fitness centers and spas, valet parking, bellhops,
and concierge service. A five-star hotel may feature up to three
gourmet restaurants, and room service is often available 24 hours a
day. The lobby of a five-star hotel is sumptuously appointed and
guest rooms feature designer quality furnishings and fine linens.
Most five-star hotels are large properties, but some of the smaller
properties listed in our "Top 50" offer intimate and romantic settings
which cannot be matched by a larger hotel. Five-star luxury hotels
are often located in downtown areas of major cities, but may also be
found in wealthy suburban areas and resort destinations.
On this page, you will find a list of luxury hotel chains
whose properties are often considered of "five-star" caliber.
