We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks - how it makes you feel is what you will remember most. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality. These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match. As our highly trained, incognito inspectors work to assess properties, our editors check them out ahead of time and provide a sneak preview of what to expect.
