Bangkok’s Recommended Hotels (Forbes Travel Guide 2025)
If you’ve ever wondered why travel writers and hotel junkies get so excited about “Forbes Five Stars,” here’s the backstory:
Started in 1958: Back then, it was called the Mobil Travel Guide (yep, as in the gas company). It was the first real star‑rating system for hotels and restaurants in the U.S. Think of it as the OG of travel guides.
Anonymous Inspections: Here’s the cool part—Forbes inspectors travel incognito, checking in like normal guests. They measure everything from how crisp the sheets are to how quickly the staff remembers your name. No hotel knows when it’s being tested.
The Five-Star Standard:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The absolute top tier. Think flawless service, world‑class dining, dreamy rooms, and those little extras (like turndown chocolates or a butler who somehow predicts you want sparkling water before you even ask).
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still luxury, but not quite as over‑the‑top.
Recommended - These are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities
