So nice you’ll blink twice

What makes a hotel worthy of supreme star-age? For starters, the service has to be top-notch and personalized. These hotels often have 24-hour room service, a welcome gift upon your arrival, and help you with your bags—even if you travel light.

Are they nicer? Heck yeah, they are! Most 5-star hotels have jaw-dropping aesthetics that give an authentic feel of class. And we’re not talking about that faux-gold soap dish your Aunt Tilda puts out for the guests—it’s the real deal.

  • Hotwire Hot Rate: We’ll tell you the name of the hotel after you book, and you might just save a ton.
