Friday, 25 Apr, 2013 0

Six London hotels and two hotel spas have been awarded a ‘Five-Star’ rating by Forbes Travel Guide.

They join an elite group of 76 hotels and 35 spas across North America and Asia that have already achieved the top rating.

The hotels are 45 Park Lane, Claridge’s, Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, The Dorchester and The Lanesborough, and The Savoy.

The Spa at Four Seasons and The Spa at Mandarin Oriental have also been awarded five stars.

"It comes as no surprise that London’s hotels and spas performed strongly against our global hospitality standards," said Michael Cascone, president and COO of Forbes Travel Guide.

The next European destination to be unveiled will be Paris in 2014.
