Five Star Alliance, the Luxury Hotel Specialists, Launches an Exclusive List of the World’s Best Luxury Hotels and a New Luxury Travel Blog

Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) November 2, 2005 –

Five Star Alliance, the Internet’s leading online travel agency focused exclusively on luxury hotels, has published their recommendations of the world’s best luxury hotels. Included in the lists are the World’s Best Luxury Spa Resorts, Luxury Business Hotels, Luxury Hotels for Families, and Luxury Honeymoon Resorts.

“As the leading online travel agency focused exclusively on luxury hotels, we are asked each day for our recommendations on the world’s best luxury hotels,” notes Cal Simmons, founder and Chairman of Five Star Alliance. “We decided that we might as well share our top picks with the world.”

The Peninsula New York, a perennial favorite, made the cut in the business category, as did the Burj al Arab in Dubai for the luxury honeymoon category. However, even the most knowledgeable upscale traveler might be surprised to hear that Le Beauvallon in St. Maxime, France, is perfect for families, and that the Vedema Resort in Greece has its own private beach.

Five Star Alliance has also launched The Informed Traveler, a web log focused on luxury hotels and upscale travel.

The blog is aimed at upscale travelers interested in discovering new luxury hotels, hearing first about special deals, and exploring new destinations. It includes a daily email digest and a free RSS feed, allowing readers to get updates through My Yahoo, Bloglines, Google Reader, or any RSS reader.

“Until now, there really hasn’t been a web log that has been aimed directly at the discriminating luxury traveler. We’re tremendously excited about sharing a bit of our enthusiasm and expertise on luxury travel, and we look forward to creating an even deeper relationship with our worldwide audience of luxury travelers,” said Mary Winston Nicklin, the editor of the blog who is currently based in El Salvador.
