How this index works
We sort hotels by kind rather than by score, because comparing a Tokyo cabin berth to a Paris townhouse on a single scale would tell you nothing useful. Each entry is written as prose: what the property is, where it sits, what shapes a stay there and what the trade-offs are.
There are no star ratings here, no guest reviews, no rankings and no booking engine. The index is not exhaustive and does not try to be — categories are added to when there is something worth adding.
