Twelve luxury resorts in Arizona ranked strongly in Forbes Travel Guide’s 2024 Star Awards, which was published on Wednesday, Feb. 7. The hotels were touted for their outstanding guest experiences.
Forbes Travel Guide, which describes itself as “the global authority on luxury hospitality,” awarded five-star ratings to 544 nationwide properties, including 340 hotels. The survey also honors outstanding restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.
“What discerning travelers consider luxury can vary, and opinions about hotels are readily available online,” said Amanda Frasier, president of ratings for Forbes Travel Guide, in an interview with The Arizona Republic. That’s why she finds it important to offer a fair and unbiased survey that evaluates properties based on guest experiences and the value of what consumers pay for.
