Click to read the full article. https://lnkd.in/gg_AyEmw Forbes rating based on the following: Forbes inspectors visit every property they rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Hotel stays span a minimum of two nights. Forbes inspectors pay their own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through Forbes objective inspection process. Forbes global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest. While Forbes inspectors review both service and facility, Forbes 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. Forbes ratings started in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
