Forbes Travel Guide

For more than 50 years, Forbes Travel Guide has assisted travelers in making smart decisions about where to stay and dine when traveling. Since its founding in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, Forbes Travel Guide has been committed to the same rigorous inspections of hotels, restaurants and spas-the most comprehensive in the industry with more than 500 standards tested at each property we visit-to help you cut through the clutter and make easy and informed decisions on where to spend your time and money. Our team of anonymous inspectors are constantly on the road, sleeping in hotels, eating in restaurants and making spa appointments, evaluating those exacting standards to determine a property's rating. Startle is the online home of Forbes Travel Guide, the creators of the original Five-Star ratings system and the leading travel authority since 1958. This unique new platform combines expert travel content with social connections, curated lists and insider deals to create unique travel experiences for the most discerning travelers.
