Only 44 Hotels made the Mobil 5 star rating this year, compared to 90 AAA 5 Diamond Hotels this year.
Mobil has been rating Hotels for over 50 years and inspectors make it a point to first visit a Hotel facility to score it's overall amenities and design elements. Then they secretly book and visit the 5 Star hotel nominees for a 3 night stay, to exprience the hotel service first hand. Everything is timed from the moment of arrival, this way the inspectors have a measurement gauge to understanding if the hotel is operating at top levels of service.
Mobil is unique in the fact that they actually give service a 75% lion share of the overall mathematical rating criteria. So, every transaction is weighed when it comes to service, Hotel staff have to be on their top game at every moment. At the end of the stay, the General Manager will recieve a very comprehensive review of the inspectors visit and will be told whether or not a follow up visit will be necessary to evaluate the property.
Mobil 5 Star properties run day in and day out at top levels, with very few service errors. These Hotels are the best of the best and have the ultimate in luxury interiors and amenities. The Mobil Travel guide says Mobil Five-Star Hotels: An exceptionally distinctive luxury environment offering expanded amenities and consistently superlative service make these hotels and inns the best in the U.S. and Canada. Attention to detail and the anticipation of guests' every need are evident throughout this exclusive group of hotels.
Most of these hotels on the list are no strangers to the 5 Star designation. This year: The Cloister in Sea Island and Trump International Hotel (New York) return after a multi-year absence.
The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago (A Four Seasons Property) did not return to the list after last year's win. The Skylofts at MGM Grand Vegas & Ulmstead Hotel and Spa (NC.) are new to the list this year.

Four Seasons Hotels is king with 9 Properties noted 5 Star status.
Ritz-Carlton Hotels comes in with 4 Properties noted 5 Star status.
St. Regis Hotels boasts 3 Properties noted 5 Star status.
