Mobil 5 star hotels for 2009

The Mobil Travel Guide has published their annual 5 star hotel awards for 2009. The list is posted on the Mobil Travel Guide website, along with links to reviews of each of the forty-three Mobil 5 star hotels.

What's the best way to book a 5 star hotel? Although many upscale travelers tend to book directly on the internet luxury travel consultant can typically provide a better value. Their clients receive complimentary amenities (such as free breakfasts, room upgrades, and more), usually at exactly the same rates found on a hotel's website. And sometimes a luxury travel adviser will have access to even lower contracted rates.

Interested in any of the "checked" hotels on the Mobil 5 star hotel list? I have access to special amenities at each of these properties. I charge no booking fees, and you pay the hotel when you check out.
