Top10star methodology

How We Rank the Best Luxury Hotels

Each destination is a curated shortlist. Hotels appear in score order, with comfort, food and service, and location shown separately so you can see where each property stands out. Property details and relevant awards add context to the numbers.

The Top10star Score badge

The number in this badge is a hotel’s overall Top10star Score out of 10. It sets the hotel’s position within its destination’s top ten. The separate Comfort, Food & Service, and Location ratings show more of the reasons behind that overall assessment, so you can compare hotels around what matters to your stay.

Comfort

Room quality, rest, amenities, and the overall ease of staying at the property.

Food & Service

Dining choice and the service experience. Restaurant distinctions are identified separately from hotel awards.

Location

Access to the district, transport, and the places visitors are likely to explore.
