HOW WE PUT THIS GUIDE TOGETHER

Useful detail.
Clear sources.

We research hotels through official hotel and tourism information, then add original location and trip-planning notes. These are researched listings, not accounts of personal stays or a ranking of every hotel. The links open the hotel’s website; bookings and payments happen there.

Dining links lead to official restaurant pages, where menus may be available. Menus, opening hours and prices can change. Photo credits identify the photographer and licence. Sponsor placements are labelled separately from the editorial shortlist.
