Where the photographs on this site come from, and how the ratings we cite belong to the bodies that award them.
Ratings and trademarks
Third-party ratings and trademarks. Ratings such as Five-Star, Four-Star and Recommended are cited as published by Forbes Travel Guide in its 2026 Star Awards; MICHELIN Keys and Stars as published by the MICHELIN Guide; AAA Diamonds as published by AAA. Each rating belongs to the hotel, restaurant or spa that earned it, as of the date stated. FORBES is a registered trademark of Forbes LLC; Forbes Travel Guide is the trade name of The Five Star Travel Corporation, which uses the FORBES mark under license; MICHELIN and AAA are trademarks of their respective owners. These names are used here only to identify the ratings those organizations have published. STANZA is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or licensed by any of them, and none of them endorses STANZA or the Stanza Score. STANZA does not inspect hotels. The "Five-star" tier of this collection is STANZA's own editorial grouping: it means the hotel held a current Five-Star rating from Forbes Travel Guide, or an equivalent independent distinction, when the collection was last reviewed. It is not an official hotel classification. The Stanza Score, where shown, is STANZA's own index.
Hotel photography
The photographs of the hotels are the hotels' own marketing and press photography, shown to present each hotel and credited to it in the caption. A hotel that prefers a photograph not to appear here can write to the concierge and it comes down.
