Why stay at a 5 star hotel?

Luxury, cleanliness, room size, entertainment, food service, lifts, spa, fitness centre and additional amenities are some of the characteristics that define a hotel’s classification. Some people splurge money on 5 star luxury hotels, while others prefer to save and spend it on shopping, transport or tourist attractions’ tickets.

There are many leisure travellers that love an air of exclusivity and affluence which they get right from the moment they step into a 5 star hotel. Whether it is a family holiday, a romantic retreat or even a business holiday, if you want to be spoilt, you cannot go wrong with a 5 star hotel. Indeed, a range of amenities are normally offered in a 5 star, including several bars and restaurants, spa, pool, gym, entertainment, spacious equipped rooms, and more. But a sumptuous luxurious ambiance, such a modern art deco, first-class service, spectacular views and further complimentary services do the trick for a complete indulgence.

To start with, you will be greeted by the doorman within a spacious reception hall. You will be guided towards a reception desk where you’ll find multilingual staff greeting you in your own language or in English. Some hotels go that extra mile to surprise their guests with a personalised greeting or a little gift in the room. You get the lift to your room, not worrying about your luggage as a porter will gently bring it over. You open your door, curious of where will you be spending your next hours/days at, and what your room will look like.

Spacious, air conditioned rooms are characteristics of 5 star Hotels, most of them benefiting from lovely views over their balconies or terraces – whether it is sea view, harbour view, country view, lake view or mountain view, guests tend to love this relaxing part of the room! Going around, you’ll experience an unparalleled comfort and elegance as 5 star hotel rooms are usually equipped with the latest facilities, including high speed internet access, flat screen TV, safety deposit box, as well as tea & coffee making facilities. You’ll even notice that you have a fully-stocked minibar in your own room, and messages on leaflets or a digital channel will inform you that food and drinks are available through room service on a 24-hour basis.

You’ll find plenty of leisure facilities in a 5 star hotel – you will be spoilt for choice. You either spend time unwinding in the hotel’s spa centre enjoying Jacuzzi, sauna, body massage, or any other body and mind treatment. You may sip a cocktail by the pool while sunbathing or freshening up by a swim. Plenty of restaurants, bars and shops will definitely while away your time in a pleasant manner.

Hotels vary, each one of them wanting to impress guests in a remarkable way, including additional services and complimentary facilities to enrich one’s stay. Word-of-mouth has experienced an incredible boost, with online tools such as social networks and reviewing blogs influencing a travel’s hotel choice. Thus, accommodation establishments need to be more than cautious in providing a top-class service that reflects its deluxe classification.
