LTI announces the World’s Best Luxury Hotel Brands 2023. This is not just another World’s Best list. LTI – Luxury Travel Intelligence – has used the past 12 months to apply the perfect assessment process: a rigorously defined algorithm that measures the performance and values of luxury hotel brands.
This year, our algorithm has 130 touchpoints relevant to the luxury hotel sector. Each has its own weighted score value with a total maximum accumulative score of 4663.
The touch points relate to overall brand performance, not the performance of individual properties. The focus is on a brand’s ability to deliver: its passion, commitment, ethos and values, as well as the quality of its management and staff.
Continuing investment and how it is utilised is also a major factor – particularly regarding new properties and the refurbishment of existing ones.
