FTG
compiles its ratings using an objective, independent and data-driven process.
Incognito inspectors pose as everyday guests and stay at hotels, board cruises,
receive spa services and dine at fine restaurants around the world. They test
some 900 exacting standards -- emphasizing exceptional service, which accounts
for 70 percent of a property’s rating. Newer standards focus on the guest
experience. The remaining 30 percent comes from the quality and condition of
the facilities, as inspectors are now required to reflect on whether there was
great value in the experience. To learn more
