Forbes Travel Guide 2023: annual list of the world’s most spectacular hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruises
TOHOLOGY, 15 February 2023

Forbes Travel Guide revealed its 2023 Star Awards winners, a list of the world’s finest hotels, restaurants, spas and – new this year – ocean cruises.

To compile the 65th annual Star Awards, Forbes Travel Guide’s incognito inspectors check into hotels and cruise ships, dine in the restaurants and experience spa services while posing as ordinary guests. The inspectors test up to 900 rigorous standards, from modern-day luxuries – such as whether a room is set up to enhance sleep quality or whether the food-and-beverage choices support a guest’s well-being – to more traditional elements, such as the décor and the attention the staff pays to a guest. Seventy percent of a property’s rating relies on its service – with a more exacting look at the guest experience as a new service metric for 2023 – while the remaining 30 percent accounts for the quality and condition of its facilities.

This year’s list features:

  • 48 new Five-Star hotels;
  • 64 new Four-Star properties;
  • 45 new Recommended hotels.

Several new countries – including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Tunisia and Cyprus – make their first appearance in the Star Awards while nine international destinations welcomed their first Five-Star hotels this year, including Athens (Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens), Capri (J.K. Place Capri), Kuwait (Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya), Lake Como (Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como) and Shenzhen (Mandarin Oriental, Shenzhen).

IHG has announced the opening of InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland, the hotel built into the side wall of a formerly abandoned quarry in Southwestern Shanghai. This new hotel is mostly subterranean, with two floors above ground and 16 below ground, including 2 floors underwater.

The Stanley Hotel (USA) appears in a very popular and funny film “Dumb and dumber”, but the hotel is shown under different name as the Danbury Hotel. The hotel is one of the Historic Hotels of America.

This hotel is the one you need when you travel a long distance or even not that long but if you are waiting for another flight at the Schiphol Airport.
