A four star hotel should offer you a good level of comfort in an imposing setting that offers a combination of style, a certain amount of charm, and a decent level of service, coupled with enough in-house diversions to make any length of time spent in one into a genuine leisure experience.

Room should have comfortable beds, wi-fi and plasma TV with a good range of channels. Bathrooms should be of a good size with a bath and shower, plus high quality soaps and shampoos. Good soundproofing is vital for an airport hotel.

There should be a 24 hour room service menu, including a continental breakfast and, for airport hotels, an early morning option for early risers. For resort hotels expect an expansive, decently furnished balcony.

Facility wise, there should be an elegant reception area manned constantly by well trained, smartly presented staff who practise courtesy at every turn. Ample elevators should run to very floor, and bellboy services should be available for luggage delivery.

You should be able to access a usable gym at any hour of the night or day, and some establishments will have both indoor and outdoor pools. The outdoor pool area should be quite large and well furnished, with al fresco dining options and waiter service. There should always be a poolside bar decorated with lots of lush greenery, as well as one or two Jacuzzis for cooling off in. Internally, there should always be a lobby bar, or one that adjoins it, plus room service on tap twenty-four hours a day. A comprehensive business centre should have 24/7 access, and all public areas should be wi-fi enabled throughout.

There should be at least one main restaurant offering a good range of international cuisine, as well as a less formal caf or bistro venue for a quick snack at any time of the day.

Any four star hotel should have a comprehensive, secure car parking facility with valet parking as standard. There should be an on-site concierge with a good local knowledge of the area to offer recommendations for dining, entertainment and sightseeing.

The entire hotel should be pervaded by a good level of hospitality, and suffused by an overall air of luxury, spaciousness and ease that makes guest relaxation its focal point. Staff should be finely tuned, expertly supervised and well motivated to deliver a premium product to a whole range of very disparate guests. That is essentially the measure of any successful four-star hotel.
