Five-Star Hotels

5 Hotels | 4 Hotels | 3 Hotels | 2 Hotels | 1 Hotels

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.  You will also find our list of top independent (non-chain) hotels in the USA, sorted by state, as well as links to other top-ranked lodging information.
