Hotel Classifications in Britain
In Britain hotels are rated from one star - five stars, like in many countries around the world. Unlike in America, diamonds are not used. The AA (Automobile Association) is one of the most trusted sites that rates hotels in the UK. Their criteria for classifying hotels is available freely on their website[3]. In addition to the usual black stars (ranging from one, the lowest to five, the highest) the AA awards gold stars to hotels which are 'highly commended' and red stars to the best hotels they review which are deemed 'inspectors choice'[4]. An example would be Cliveden Country House Hotel in Taplow which is rated as a 5 red star hotel[5].
[edit] Six star hotels
Some members of the hospitality industry have claimed a self-given six star rating for their operation. Two examples are the Crown Macau, on Taipa Island in the Chinese territory of Macau and the St. Regis Shanghai Hotel in China. Other examples include the Al Husn Hotel at Shangrila's Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa Hotel in Oman.[6] The Palazzo Versace[7] on the Gold Coast in Australia is described by Australian Traveller magazine as meriting "six star" rating though level of rating is not used in Australia.[8] The under development hotel Mansions of the World in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires has also been announced as a six star hotel project.[9]. Seoul Park Hyatt in South Korea is also a six star hotel.[citation needed] The hotel Capella Singapore on Sentosa Island also claims that title.
[edit] Seven star hotels
There are only three hotels in the world that are seven star hotels; the Town House Galleria in Milan was the first, followed by the Burj Al Arab[citation needed] in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[10] These ratings are merely to create a marketing hype as the highest official ratings in Dubai and Italy, for instance, are five stars [11]There are a few other seven star hotels under construction. These include the Laucala Island in Fiji, Morgan Plaza to be finished in Beijing, China, the Flower of the East under construction as well as the Solar Powered Hotel on Kish island, Iran.[12] The Centaurus Complex under construction in Islamabad, Pakistan[13], the Grand Chola in Chennai (India), a complex planned for Metro Manila and The Royalties Castle for Davao City in the Philippines.[14] Taj Hotel in Mumbai, India is also a seven star.
