PHOENIX — Nearly two dozen businesses in Arizona have been selected for Forbes Travel Guide 2022 Star Awards for the "world’s most outstanding hotels, restaurants and spas."
The Forbes Travel Guide has been creating the annual list for 64 years, according to its website.
Winners this year include 323 Five-Star hotels, 74 Five-Star restaurants as well as 102 Five-Star and 193 Four-Star spas worldwide.
Here's how the list is made:
"To find the best of the best, Forbes Travel Guide’s incognito inspectors stay at each hotel for three days and two nights, posing as ordinary guests. They test up to 900 objective, rigorous standards, from modern-day luxuries—such as whether a room is set up to enhance sleep or whether the food-and-beverage choices are health-conscious—to more traditional amenities, such as the quality of the décor and the courtesy of the staff. Seventy-five percent of a hotel’s rating relies on service, while the remaining 25 percent is determined by the quality of its facilities."

Aji Spa Pheonix
CORE Kitchen & Wine Bar Tucson
Kai Restaurant Phoenix
L'Apothecary Spa Sedona
