2009 Mobil 5-Star Hotels Announced

"A Mobil Five-Star hotel, inn, or resort provides consistently superlative service in an exceptionally distinctive luxury environment with expanded services. Attention to detail is evident throughout," according to the Mobil Travel Guide, which has just released its list of the 2009 Mobil 5-Star Awards for lodging. Each of these luxurious properties can provide a flawless perch for lovebirds on a honeymoon or romantic getaway.

You'll find a few new properties in 2009 and a few departed (au revoir Ritz in Chicago). But this list really doesn't change much from year to year. And at every one of these top-notch hotels that continue to earn their five stars, you'll find an incomparable experience.
