We will start by busting a common myth. There is no official 7-star rating. But, we all love the unofficial 7-star rated hotels as it makes 5-star even grander. In this post, we have listed a few of the best Unofficial 7-Star Hotels in the World.
A luxury vacation is all about experiencing luxury like royalty.
The 7-star experience is a cut above the rest because it is all about opulence and affluence. 7-star experience is not an official rating but a coveted rating given by various travel and hospitality sites and agencies as well as media houses.
