The Middle East has come out on top in the 2024 Forbes Travel Guide Star Awards, with Dubai leading the way by earning the highest number of new Five-Star honors worldwide. These awards, which serve as a benchmark for luxury and service excellence in the global hospitality industry, are based on a meticulous evaluation process conducted by anonymous inspectors who assess hundreds of criteria.
Receiving a Five-Star rating is not just a recognition of an establishment's commitment to unparalleled service and luxury, but it also places them among the elite in the world of hospitality. Five new top-rated hotels in Dubai joined the prestigious list, including Address Beach Resort, Armani Hotel Dubai, Atlantis The Royal, The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai, and The St. Regis Dubai, The Palm. This brought Dubai's total number of Five-Star hotels to an impressive 12.
