About us
Forbes Travel Guide is the global authority on luxury travel. Started as Mobil Travel Guide in 1958, we created the first Five-Star rating system in the United States. Today we are global, offering discerning travelers the only independently rated collection of luxury hotels, restaurants and spas. We continue today as ForbesTravelGuide.com. Forbes Travel Guide's Star Rating standards reflect the highest levels of service and facility measurement in the industry worldwide. Our anonymous professional inspectors evaluate based on up to 900 objective standards. While we inspect both service and facility, we emphasize quality of service because your experience goes beyond looks—how it makes you feel is what you will remember most. Only the best properties in the world earn the coveted Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star, Four-Star and Recommended awards. We also provide the hospitality industry with learning tools and programs that deliver insight into the Star Rating process and expert guidance on connecting with guests most effectively: -Our Quality Assessments evaluate your property on the same criteria that is used in the Forbes Travel Guide official Star Rating System — the “ultimate practice test” on the most stringent standards in the hospitality industry. -Our Training programs focus on developing a culture of intuitive, engaged team members, allowing the personality of the property to shine and the employee to flourish. Training modules are bespoke to each property and integrate brand standards and management initiatives. -Global Partnership provides transparency into Forbes Travel Guide’s rigorous and prestigious Star Rating system. -StarCoach is a smartphone/tablet-based behavioral simulator that analyzes the voice and provides feedback to enhance your associates’ interpersonal skills —it's how you say it.

Today's cocktail journey takes us to Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Gangnam, a Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel that’s home to the 1914 Lounge & Bar. Nestled on the 24th floor with a splendid view of the city, the bar offers a beverage menu tailored by Ray Kim and his team featuring a wide variety of South Korean ingredients. Our focus today is on the Room Boy cocktail, which pays tribute to Josun Palace's “room boys,” who oversaw a guest’s stay and were known for their versatility, loyalty and kindness. The tipple provides an invigorating sensory experience. It begins with a burst of acidity, followed by the rich flavor of tequila, and spiciness from a blend of Tabasco sauce and pepper. The lasting taste is a blend of bitterness and sweetness, mirroring the multifaceted and impactful service provided by the room boys at the Seoul hotel in the early 1900s. Then to demonstrate versatility, omija berries are incorporated into the drink through a cordial. It is a unique Korean ingredient renowned for its five distinct flavors: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent. The omija cordial is elevated with star anise, dried clove buds and pepper, symbolizing the complex and multifaceted service the room boys offered. It's a magnificent combination of ingredients paying tribute to Korean culture, as well as to the heritage of the property and its room boys. If you're planning a trip to Seoul soon, don't miss the chance to try this cocktail, rich in flavor and history. Every month, Bastien Gardrat, the Spirits Ambassador who oversees the Spirits Lab at Forbes Travel Guide’s Center for Excellence, shares a unique bar/cocktail experience. To be considered for a feature, email him at spirits@forbestravelguide.com. #forbestravelguide #hospitality #hospitalityindustry #hotels #hotelsandresorts #foodandbeverage #foodandbeverageindustry #bars #cocktails
