Forbes Travel continues to “verify luxury worldwide” for meetings and incentives groups with its latest ratings.
Forbes Travel celebrates its 60th year of rating hotels, spas and restaurants with new properties in 50 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. New destinations to hit the list outside of the US include Abu Dhabi, Amsterdam, Aruba, Chengdu, Dubai, Jamaica, Kuala Lumpur, Madrid, Marrakech, Panama, Prague and Vienna—27 new five-star properties and 70 new four-star, in total.
“As the most trusted source for travelers, we continue to carry out our mission to verify luxury worldwide,” says Gerard Inzerillo, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. “We are delighted to honor the 2018 Star Rating recipients, an outstanding collection of hotels, restaurants and spas with a strong service culture. It’s the largest and most global group of Star-Rated properties in our company’s history.”
