For one thing, it often permits them to charge more for their rooms. Many hotels would like to increase their star rating. This might make adding an elevator impossible, which would the prevent the hotel from achieving three-star status, no matter how lovely the rooms are or cordial the management. A two-star hotel located in a historic neighborhood in Paris, for example, will certainly have restrictions placed upon its ability to do renovations. We’ve visited many hotels that are stuck, for reasons outside their control, with a low star rating. A four-star hotel may be far less charming than a two-star hotel.
But it doesn’t say anything about the room decor, the hotel’s location or the helpfulness of the staff. You can be certain that a four-star hotel offers elevators, room service, private baths, cable TV, Internet, air conditioning and so forth. More stars do not always make a better hotel. The hotel’s star rating doesn’t tell you how the inspector feels about the hotel. The tourism officials who inspect and rate the hotels are not making judgment calls here - it’s a straight-forward process of checks and tallies. Hotel star ratings are not like other ratings.Ī restaurant given a three-star rating is usually considered “better” than a restaurant that has received only a one-star rating.
The Castex Hotel in Paris has private baths, elevator, extra comforts-and three stars.
