Expedia Insider's Select 2012

Expedia.com®, the world's leading online travel agency, on Wednesday announced the Expedia® 2012 Insiders' Select™ rankings, an annual list of the world's best-reviewed hotels. Celebrating its 6th year, Insiders' Select rankings are largely determined by the more than 500,000 Expedia customer reviews received during the course of 2011.

Hotels that consistently deliver value, in the form of competitive pricing, pristine amenities and superior customer service, will see that commitment rewarded in their ranking. The 650 hotels in the 2012 rankings are found in 295 cities in 74 countries. 28 percent of Insiders' Select hotels are in America, 25% in Europe, 3% in South America, 19% in Asia and 25% elsewhere. Marrol's Boutique Hotel, a five-star property in Slovakia, topped the 2012 Insiders' Select list while the top American hotel was the Four Seasons Miami, listed at number five.
