There's not actually a standard international scale for hotel ratings, so there's no set meaning for what exactly constitutes a three-star or four-star hotel. As a result, you may see hotels rated slightly differently depending on what website you're on. However, one thing is universally known: a five-star hotel constitutes the best of the best. By whatever definition you use, these hotels are the absolute height of luxury. You'll find the highest quality of amenities, delicious restaurants, and beautiful surroundings. One of the best hotels in Georgia is the incredible Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee.
