Highly recommended.......2005-07-24

I like the mix of hard and soft data, and used the cross-reference indices to locate potential honeymoon spots. Both my fiance'e and I found it easy to navigate, and would recommend it.

MORE THAN 1000 FIRST RATE PLACES TO STAY.......2004-12-05

This survey is the result of surveying 16,413 frequent travelers. The respondents have stayed at hotels an average of 36 nights per year. This adds up to roughly 600,000 nights annually. These survey participants rated these hotels, resorts and spas on the quality of their rooms, services, dining facilities, and on their public spaces/facilities. In addition the resources of the American Society of Travel Agents and their 900 members were used. Overall then, the ratings represent a pretty broad range of experiences that should be a good indication of what to expect at each location.

In addition to rating the various properties by their location, this survey breaks them down by top scorers in a number of categories such as Top Hotel Chains, Top 50 hotels, Top 50 resorts, Top 50 small hotels, Tops by region and Top service and Dining to name just a few.

After the main portion of the survey, there is a sspecial features index, listing such items as Bed and Breakfast properties, Convention Centers, right down to Private Balconies, Water Views, and "Trendy Places." The list is too long to include here, but might just have the information you need to make one place more appealing to you and your family than another one you might be considering.

There are other useful sections, such as some very handy travel tips including methods of getting your reservations at better prices than those published.

Overall, for the upscale traveler, I think that this Zagat Survey is one that ought to be consulted while planning a trip.

Product Description

25th Anniversary Executive boxed set of four U.S. Zagat Survey guides. Beautiful navy blue set of soft cover books with gilt lettering and page edges. Tim and Nina Zagat established Zagat Survey® in 1979 by inviting avid diners to rate and review the restaurants they visited. Both native New Yorkers, these two successful Yale educated lawyers applied a unique premise that rating a restaurant on the basis of thousands of experiences was inherently more accurate than relying on one reviewer. Starting with the first Zagat NYC Restaurant Survey, that premise has proven true and Zagat Survey has continued to expand over the last 26 years. The company now offers guides to dining for more than 70 major markets, as well as guides for hotels, resorts and spas worldwide, family travel, entertaining, shopping, nightlife, movies, music, theater and golf.
