The Luxury Check In staff have stayed at five-star properties around the globe, and it takes something truly special to impress us. Merely having an expensive price tag is no indicator of true luxury. What makes a hotel truly splurge-worthy is a combination of a number of factors: Unique amenities, innovative on-site dining, stylish design, helpful staff, comfortable rooms, and more—these are the things that will make or break a luxury hotel stay. We’ve traveled to all seven continents and personally vetted hundreds of properties to find the best luxury hotels in the world, where your experience will be unparalleled from check-in to check-out.
