How the index works
Selection, checking and scope, a sentence each.
- 1Selection: The stay itself has to be the point.
A hotel gets in when its rooms, its walls or its setting would be worth describing even with no city attached.
- 2Verification: Only what can be checked.
Facts come from the hotels' own pages and from well-documented history. A detail that cannot be confirmed that way is dropped, not guessed at.
- 3Scope: Four kinds of hotel, nothing more.
Some lists are short because the world's supply is short. Ice is the clearest case.
