Hotels
Grading: The SHV classifies all its hotels according to a 5-star rating system, which stipulates a range of facilities ranging from: 1-star (simple) to 5-star (luxury).
Note: Membership of the SHV is voluntary, and there may be some first-class hotels which do not have a star rating. There are many hotels with no actual star classification that are recognised by, and members of, the SHV as well as Country Inns, Unique hotels, Aparthotels, Mountain Inns/Traveller's Lodges and Low Service hotels. The SHV issues an annual guide of around 2,500 member hotels and pensions.
