China's foreign-related tourist hotels are divided into five grades, that is, one-star to five-star. The classification of hotel stars is based on the hotel's architecture, decoration, facilities and equipment, management, and service levels. The specific evaluation methods are implemented in accordance with the evaluation standards issued by the original National Tourism Administration. According to the relevant regulations, the hotel needs to take the initiative to apply, in order to enter the assessment process.
At present, the list of five-star hotels published by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism (as of July 2022) includes a total of 817 hotels across the country (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). Among them, Guangdong Province has 93 warehousing, the largest number. In the list, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is the only province without five-star hotels.
Ningxia is the only place to pass through the ancient Silk Road. The ancient Yellow River civilization, the mysterious history of Xixia and the majestic desert scenery constitute the colorful tourism resources of Ningxia. "Two Mountains and One River" (Helan Mountain, Liupan Mountain, Yellow River), "Two Sands and One Mausoleum" (Shahu, Shapotou, Xixia King Mausoleum), "Two Forts and One City" (Jiangtai Fort, Zhenbei Fort, Ancient Great Wall), It embodies the profound cultural heritage and shows the unique natural scenery.
, it should be noted that some hotels are built according to the five-star standard, but due to various reasons, they did not apply for a five-star rating, so they did not enter the database of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. In fact, in Ningxia, there are also hotels built in accordance with five-star hotels, but they have not applied to the star rating agencies of tourist hotels. It is understood that this move is also in compliance with relevant national regulations, because there is no "five-star halo", you can receive meetings of government agencies and institutions. In fact, in recent years, some five-star hotels have taken the initiative to "drop stars". It cannot be found in the directory on the website of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. It does not mean that the hotel's service level is not up to five-star. It is likely that the hotel itself is unwilling to accept this "halo".
