Five Star
Hotels
(Deluxe)
|
|
These are hotels that
offer only the highest level of accommodation and services. The properties
offer a high degree of personal service. Although most five star hotels
are large properties, sometimes the small independent (non-chain) property
offers an elegant intimacy that can not be achieved in the larger setting.
The hotel locations can vary from the very exclusive locations of a suburban
area, to the heart of downtown. The hotel lobbies are sumptuous, the rooms
complete with stylish furnishing and quality linens. The amenities often
include: VCR's, CD stereos, garden tubs or jacuzzis, in-room video library,
heated pools and more. The hotels feature up to three restaurants all
with exquisite menus. Room service is usually available 24 hours a day.
Fitness centers and valet and/or garage parking are typically available.
A hotel concierge will also be available to assist you.

Other
Hotels
|
|
Some hotel type properties are not recognised under the star rating system as they may
provide only a few rooms as part of a restaurant or bar complex.
These properties are often cheaper than standard hotels and can offer better value.
They are usually clean and well-presented as they will
be typically owned and managed as a family business. Hotels that have not yet been
allocated a star rating will also fall into this group.
|
| |
|
| |
Some hotel properties don't fit into one specific rating category because of the scope and range of the
services provided. For example: a hotel which has 3 star accommodation but includes a five star
restaurant and facilities could be allocated a 3.5 star overall rating 
and so may be listed in either the 3 or 4 star category. The rating system is for guidance only and should not
be taken to mean that every hotel within a certain rating category will provide the same facilities or standards.
