China has the most luxury hotels in the world

23-02-23

As if it were the Michelin of hotels, the Forbes Travel Guide reveals the city with the most award-winning accommodation. And it is not London or New York.

According to economiadigital.es, contrary to what many people assume, the city with the most five-star hotels is not in Europe or the USA. Nor in the Middle East, where the emirates have resorted to petrodollars to build one complex more luxurious than another.

To go to the city with the most stars you have to go to Macau, the Chinese city that retains Portuguese influence after centuries of being a trading colony in the Far East; and which is now the closest thing to Las Vegas in China.

Just as the Michelin Guide has become the benchmark for where the world's most exclusive restaurants are, Forbes Travel Guide's Star Awards serve as the benchmark for where the world's finest hotels are located.
