At our media platform inauguration party, our friend and Insider LB Filip Boyen, former CEO at Forbes Travel Guide, informed us that the inspectors of the famous luxury travel verification guide do not even have a social page at META!
Strict anonymity, paid stay of at least 2 nights in the visited hotels, 900 evaluation criterias to distribute the coveted and hard-to-get stars.
It is true that this event is always eagerly awaited by the luxury tourism industry and this 2023 edition was unique as Belgium was visited for the first time and we are proud to announce that 2 Brussels establishments were honored and are now part of the 1900 most extraordinary and select places in the world, starred by Forbes Travel Guide and the Star Awards.
The recently opened Hotel Juliana Brussels received the "Recommended" rating and the Amigo Brussels Rocco Forte Hotels received the exceptional 4/5 stars!
Congratulations to the teams of these first 2 Belgian hotels to receive these amazing and hard to reach distinctions!
In this 1st article on our friends from Forbes Travel Guide, with whom we will propose several contents in relation with the 2023 list of the new Star Awards, we highlight a selection of absolutely magnificent places dedicated to well-being, body beauty and relaxation.
A selection within the selection, 10 SPAs among the 22 newcomers in the very private club of the 5 stars of Forbes Travel Guide.
Of all the delightful distractions to be found at the new Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid may be the most exhilarating. |
For some, the spa is a sacred place, which may explain why Le Spa Sisley at Airelles Gordes, La Bastide in Provence was designed to resemble the area’s abbeys. |
The therapeutic energy surrounding Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve as a whole is only heightened at Spa Alkemia. |
Modeled after Spain’s historic Alhambra Palace, Spa Palmera at The Boca Raton elevates the word “spa” to a grandiose level with high-end offerings, elaborate design and an inspirational atmosphere. |
Okada Manila’s The Retreat Spa is the city’s newest — and perhaps grandest — center for relaxation. |
Bringing together baroque design elements with nods to Macanese influence, The Spa feels right at home in the majestic Grand Lisboa Palace Macau, a luxury urban resort in Cotai. |
In future articles on this 2023 Forbes Travel Guide Star Awards, we will introduce you to other outstanding places in the other 2 categories "hotels" and "restaurants".
