THE ‘RIGHT’ HOTEL
Hotel ratings are a minefield with the potential
to confuse even the most seasoned traveller.
We use the Official Hotel Guide gradings, rather
than applying our own classifications because
we are confident that these are a reliable
reflection of what you can expect.
Superior Deluxe
Among the finest the world has to offer, hotels
in this category are exclusive, lavish and
indulgent. Needless to say, you will enjoy the
highest service levels, superb accommodation
and outstanding facilities and public areas.
Deluxe
This will be an outstanding hotel, offering many of
the features of Superior Deluxe, though on a scale
which will be a little less grand.
Moderate Deluxe
This will be a Deluxe standard property, although
some of the accommodation and public areas may
offer a less pronounced degree of luxury. In other
instances, the hotel may be a famous name with a
well-established reputation.
Superior First Class
More often than not, this will be a superior modern
hotel or an older property which is exceptionally
maintained. All offer very comfortable and
well-furnished accommodation and public areas.
First Class
A dependable and comfortable hotel with
standardised rooms. These make an ideal choice
for travellers who do not require deluxe facilities
or special services.
Moderate First Class
Essentially a First Class hotel with comfortable
but sometimes simple accommodations. Public
areas will be limited but generally provide all the
essentials a guest requires.
Superior Tourist Class
Primarily a mid-market economy hotel.
Accommodations will be well kept and functional.
Public rooms and facilities may be limited.
