US online travel giant Expedia has revealed its ‘Insiders’ Select’ list, which compiles the best hotels in the world according to its own rating system.
The list details 650 properties, of which 21 are from the UK and Ireland, ranked by Expedia users. The site has around 205,000 hotels on its books.
“Travellers have an increasingly voracious appetite for online reviews and they have become critically important to their purchasing decisions. Delivering a superior guest experience is more crucial than ever before and our research shows reviews drive increased demand as well as the ability to charge a higher price per room – and that’s when hotels really benefit”, says Seamus MacCormaic, senior director of market management in UK, Ireland, Benelux & Nordics for Expedia. “We’re delighted to celebrate an increased number of hotels in the UK receiving this accolade compared with 2012, helping provide a benchmark hotels should be aiming for.”
