VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The Darling in
Sydney’s bustling Pyrmont neighborhood pairs upscale living with attentive service, making this boutique hotel popular with those who want a stylish, comfortable stay in the Aussie city.
At 171 rooms, the luxury feels big but not overwhelming — a plus considering the hotel is part of The Star resort, a large complex that houses trendsetting restaurants, shops, bars and cafes.
The stunning marble lobby with soaring ceilings and a black, gray and red palette feels glamorous but not overindulgent. And with a cutting-edge gym and world-class spa, The Darling has a lot more to offer than the typical boutique hotel.
