luxury hotels

Five-star lodging establishments

Luxury hotels are high-end accommodations offering premium amenities, exceptional service, and elegant surroundings.

They typically feature fine dining, spas, concierge services, and upscale furnishings.

The designation implies prices well above standard lodging: They splurged on luxury hotels throughout their European honeymoon.

Five-star ratings often accompany the term, though "luxury" itself has no fixed standard.
