U_STAR HOTELS
Distinguishing Excellence in Hip Urban Accommodation
The internationally-recognized hotel rating system has become outdated. Not only does the standard of those star classifications
vary by country, but they are also not officially endorsed by any government. So you'll find that while a 5-star rating is
internationally recognized as the top hotel service, you often soon realize that time and newer hotels have downgraded
some self-classified 5-stars to lower categories while they keep marketing that top distinction.
Some properties are even claiming 6 and 7 stars for marketing purposes, while at other hotels, guests are often
disappointed to find 5-stars to mean conference and meeting rooms, and not exactly a memorable place to stay
for someone who isn't a business traveler. So why pay any attention to those 3, 4, or 5-star ratings anymore?
It is time to award independent star distinctions. Because modern, cosmopolitan travelers look for something extra, something special, something different (and often even find it at a 4-star hotel more easily than at a 5-star property), UCityGuides.com has introduced new star ratings, awarding the world's most outstanding urban hotels with one, two, and three stars. You'll even find hotels of the established 5-star rating having no stars using our criteria, or maybe a 4-star-rated hotel getting the maximum 3 U_Stars in our guide. A U_Star means it's a special place that stands out from all others, one that you'll want to make the effort to book, and where you'll feel reluctant to leave. It's a hotel that adds to the ultimate urban experience that both UCityGuides.com and the modern cosmopolitan traveler seeks.
