The Forbes Travel Guide has unveiled its 2025 Star Award Winners, spotlighting over 2,000 of the most remarkable stays and travel experiences in the world, from luxury hotels to restaurants and spas. On the 67th annual Forbes Travel Guide, 13 Vancouver hotels and spas were recognized for their excellent service, amenities, and guest experience.
Forbes uses a global rating system to rank the best in the hospitality industry, awarding four and five stars to top-notch establishments and recommending those with “consistently good service and facilities.”
According to Forbes, the travel guide dates back to 1958 and is the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, spas, restaurants, and cruise ships. Winning is considered a prestigious achievement in the industry, with each rating based on up to 900 meticulous standards, including cleanliness, efficiency, gracious service, sense of luxury, guest comfort, and sustainability, to name just a few.
“Our professional inspectors don’t just drop in; we stay anonymously for multiple nights and dine or spa in person, evaluating based on hundreds of exacting standards.”
“These properties deliver an outstanding experience and consistently offer a highly customized level of service,” reads the travel guide.
“These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.”
“These are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.”
