The classification system for hotels has been around for many years. It usually operates using stars and hotels are rated by an independent inspection body between 1 star and 5 stars on an escalating scale depending upon a range of factors. The higher the star rating of a hotel the greater the luxury, comfort, facilities and exclusivity.
To attain the highest classification or a 5 star hotel rating a hotel will usually be required to meet all of the following criteria:
* Room Accommodation will be luxurious with the highest quality beds, linens and fabrics. Guest bathroom facilities will equally be of the highest standard.
* Personal service will have to be outstanding. Customer's needs will be attended to immediately, to the guest's satisfaction around the clock (24 hours a day) by the Concierge and Guest Services. 5 Star Hotels often include Butler service either as part of the room or for the floor.
* The standard of hotel dining will be exceptional, and may include a celebrity chef or Michelin star restaurants. Off the menu meals are often prepared on request by guests.
* The hotel's location is likely to be excellent – many of the most luxurious city hotels are in the city centers. Likewise beach and country five star hotels will offer unique facilities and often wonderful views. Many of these renowned hotels will be established leading institutions.
* The facilities and notably the Spa, Pool, Gym and Sauna are likely to be world class. Sometimes the hotel may be part of a Spa Resort (www.sparesorts.com)
* A 5 star hotel will take note of your preferences for your next stay in order to ensure that it is even more memorable than your last. On return trips the hotel staff will recognize you and welcome you back.
* As a matter of courtesy the hotel will typically make arrangements to collect and if necessary return you to the airport.
* There are a great many small issues which add up to make a great hotel. These would include great concierge services, perhaps a shoe cleaning service, unpacking and clothes pressing service as a courtesy on arrival.
This is not a comprehensive list of services and amenities that would guarantee an hotel the highest classification. Note that the star system used by hotels is interchangeable with a similar classification system in use including diamond ratings. Many 5 star boutique hotels may well be rated under alternative systems.
In most countries the standards by which a hotel may advertise themselves is strictly governed and independently tested. To claim you are a 5 star hotel would typically mean that the hotel has undergone an independent inspection and to obtain this the highest level of luxury attainable a hotel must pass virtually every part of the inspection.
Within each country the following types of 5 star hotel can typically be found:
* City Center Hotels
* Airport Hotels
* Spa Hotels (redirects to Sparesorts.com)
* Resort Hotels
* Boutique Hotels
* Country House Hotels
* Castle Hotels
* Golf Hotels
One has to be careful when comparing the luxury hotel market across borders as despite several attempts a unified standard has yet to appear. It is far to say, for this the highest of all hotel categories, that all of the hotels featured here on 5starhotels.com do meet the highest of recognized international standards. All of the 5 star hotels on this site have been personally visited by our representatives. Swiftrank is a leader in the provision of online luxury.
