ANAHEIM, CA — If you have visited this hotel, you know how very special it is – and the industry experts agree! Forbes Travel Guide today unveiled its annual Star Rating list, naming Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa at the Disneyland Resort as a new Forbes Travel Guide Star Award winner. As a Forbes Travel Guide Recommended Hotel, it is the first Disney hotel and the first hotel in Anaheim to receive this honored distinction.

How do they choose the best of the best? Forbes Travel Guide’s anonymous inspectors
scour the globe in search of the top luxury experiences to discover the world’s best
hotels, restaurants and spas to determine the 2019 Star Award winners.

The only way to get a Star Rating is by earning it through Forbes Travel Guide’s independent inspection process. Their inspectors check into hotels for a minimum of two nights and pose as ordinary guests. Once there, they test up to 900 objective, exacting standards that address even the smallest details. The ratings inspectors seek a culture of
exceptionally gracious and personalized service, which is 75 percent of a hotel’s score,
while 25 percent is determined by the quality of its facilities.
