Hotel classification is a system used to categorize hotels based on various criteria, such as quality, services, and amenities. This classification helps travelers identify the type of accommodation that best suits their needs and budget. Common systems include star ratings, where hotels are rated from one to five stars, with five-star hotels offering the highest level of luxury and service. Different countries may have their own classification systems, often overseen by organizations like the American Automobile Association (AAA) or the Hotel and Restaurant Association. These classifications can also consider factors like location, size, and target market, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of what each hotel offers.
