Have you stayed at any of these top 12 global luxury hotel brands?

New annual table, compiled by the members-only travel information group, Luxury Travel Intelligence uses algorithm to analyse hotels’ 118 ‘touch points’
If you are about to go on a holiday and looking for the best luxury options about where to stay, here is a piece of news that could prove useful.
While there are always the TripAdvisor forums and several other travel forums to look at, none can guarantee you luxury based on fact.
However, Luxury Travel Intelligence (LTI), a members-only travel information group, is here to “luxe-proof” your stay with science, after compiling an algorithm-based list of the world’s top 12 luxury hotels for you.
Instead of relying on public surveys or similar editorial/travel statistics, the list uses an algorithm that analyses hotels on the basis of 118 significant touch points.
With a maximum score of 4,320 possible points, the hotels are scored and ranked into a list of 12 luxury hotels that are unarguably the best, per science!
It’s all about the brand’s ability to deliver: its passion, commitment, ethos and values – as well as the quality of its management and staff. Investment and how well it is executed is also a major factor
While we have no details about the algorithm used, Michael Crompton, founder of LTI, said: “Note that the 118 touch points relate to the overall brand performance, rather than its individual properties.
