Markus Kanerva, CEO of Turvallinen-kasino commented on the findings:
“This study highlights the best luxury hotels across the world, according to guests and online reviewers. The stunning locations are often the main reasons why these hotels are so highly rated, either being close to a city centre or along the coastline, along with all the luxury facilities available onsite.
“Many of the top hotels also openly specify whether they are family friendly, allow pets, or are more suitable for couples. This means that guests can have a luxury holiday that is completely catered to their needs, as expected when considering the costs of staying at one of the highest rated hotels globally.”
