Pesen 5 Stars Hotel for Cewe

‘Stars’ are the designations given to hotels, spas and restaurants by the Forbes Travel Guide (formerly the Mobil Travel Guide) since 1958, longer than any other service. Prospective guests use the star designations as a tool for selecting hotel accommodations. Hotels are awarded stars (from 1-5) based on quality and service. Out of the nearly 50,000 hotels in North America and China, only 8,000 hotels have received a 1-5 star designation. The most recent list awarded a mere 53 hotels in North America and China with the top 5 star designation.

• 1 Star – Hotels which provide basic amenities/services, are clean, comfortable and affordable.
• 2 Stars – Hotels provide the basics with an on-site full-service restaurant.The décor, grounds and rooms will be of higher quality.
• 3 Stars – Hotels provide consistent service, are comfortable, and contain expanded amenities like pools, hot-tubs, room service and fitness centers.
• 4 Stars – Hotels are sophisticated with exemplary service and offer a luxurious feel with 24-hour room service, valet parking, and spas.
• 5 Stars – Hotels catering to each guest as if they were the only guest and anticipating their guests’ needs. Luxurious personalized service, culinary expertise and elegant rooms with every amenity imaginable on-premises, or the ability to procure it if/when requested.
