What’s the REAL Difference Between a three, four, and five-star hotel?
Let me break it down for you:
⭐ 3-Star Hotels – Think Holiday Inn, Courtyard by Marriott. Three-star hotels major on being the comfortable & functional option for travelers. Expect on-site dining, standard rooms, and solid service, but don’t count on luxury perks like room service or spas.
⭐ 4-Star Hotels – Think Westin, Hyatt Regency, Kimpton. Four-star hotels are a step up in style, service & amenities. You’ll find upscale décor, concierge service, multiple dining options, pools & fitness centers. Rooms are typically more spacious with premium bedding.
⭐ 5-Star Hotels – Think Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis. This is the ultimate luxury experience. Expect personalized service, Michelin-star dining, designer interiors, world-class spas, and exclusive experiences. The difference? Every detail is crafted around your comfort, privacy, and experience
Pro Tip: Star ratings aren’t always universal. A 4-star hotel in Europe might feel more like a 3.5-star in the U.S. (or vice versa). That’s where expert guidance truly does come in to help you find the right fit for you.
