Forbes Travel Guide to rate hotels and spas

Forbes Travel Guide to rate S'pore's hotels and spas

Hotels and spas in Singapore will soon be rated by Forbes Travel Guide for the first time.

The ratings are based on objective evaluations of more than 500 attributes at each rated property.

Singapore is the fourth country to receive Forbes Travel Guide's Five-Star ratings, and the fourth city in Asia after Beijing, Hong Kong and Macau.

Forbes Travel Guide said its ratings would allow travellers to Singapore to make more informed decisions for their trips.

To achieve Five- and Four-Star status, properties must meet or exceed its bar-setting service standards, which are determined through an unannounced incognito service evaluation conducted by Forbes Travel Guide's professional inspectors.

Forbes Travel Guide enters Singapore at a time when its tourism industry is delivering remarkable results.

In 2010, Singapore surpassed its tourism receipts forecast with a record of S$18.8 billion, driven by its increased attractiveness to affluent tourists in Asia and an infrastructure built to meet growing demands for luxury by discerning travellers.
