What is the highest accredition/rating of hotels?Is it 7 star or 5 star?
Star Classification In some countries, there is an official body with standard criteria for classifying hotels, but in many others there is none. There have been attempts at unifying the classification scheme so that it becomes an internationally recognized and reliable standard but large differences exist in the quality of the accommodation and the food within one category of hotel, sometimes even in the same country. However, a five star hotel is always associated with luxury. The lack of standardisation has allowed marketing-driven inflation, with some hotels claiming six stars; the Burj al-Arab markets itself as “the world’s first seven-star hotel.” Well established prestige hotels are usually content to claim the traditional five.
