What to look for in luxury hotels
Properties rated five stars. Star ratings are awarded nationally and the criteria differ sharply from one country to the next: five stars in Southeast Asia and five stars in Switzerland describe different buildings at very different prices. The guest score alongside the stars is the better guide to whether a property is actually good.
Before you book, check
- The guest rating as well as the stars. A five-star hotel scoring 7.5 is telling you something.
- What is included beyond the room: breakfast, spa access, airport transfer, club lounge.
- Whether a service charge or city tax is added at check-out, which at this level can be a substantial sum.
- Cancellation terms, which are frequently stricter at the top of the market.
At this price point the difference between the cheapest and the best-value room in the same hotel is often small, while the difference in the room is large. Look one category up before you book the entry-level room.
Worth it for: Occasions, long-haul arrivals where the first night matters, and destinations where five stars costs what three stars does at home.

Where are luxury hotels cheapest?
Right now the lowest starting prices are in Kandy (from € 21), Yogyakarta (from € 22), Pattaya (from € 25). Prices move with the season, so compare a few destinations and dates before you settle.
Can I cancel a booking from this collection?
Most rooms offer free cancellation and every rate states its own deadline before you pay. Use the free cancellation filter to see only those rates.
