Five Star Alliance Launches Exclusive List
NOVEMBER 3, 2005. Five Star Alliance has published their recommendations of the world's best luxury hotels. Included in the lists are the World's Best Luxury Spa Resorts, Luxury Business Hotels, Luxury Hotels for Families, and Luxury Honeymoon Resorts.
"As the leading online travel agency focused exclusively on luxury hotels, we are asked each day for our recommendations on the world's best luxury hotels," notes Cal Simmons, founder and Chairman of Five Star Alliance. "We decided that we might as well share our top picks with the world."
The Peninsula New York, a perennial favorite, made the cut in the business category, as did the Burj al Arab in Dubai for the luxury honeymoon category. However, even the most knowledgeable upscale traveler might be surprised to hear that Le Beauvallon in St. Maxime, France, is perfect for families, and that the Vedema Resort in Greece has its own private beach.
