Guides are predominantly intended for the markets they are reviewing &, as such, are more often than not written in the native language (s) of their featured destination, that said, most foreign language guides do come with a range of English language introductory & explanatory information such as thorough details on how to use the guide & a description of its symbol classifications. The obvious exceptions to this structure are locations which already have English as their official language. Guides feature hundreds of hotels and/or restaurants & rate them according to the time honoured Michelin standards. Reviews are arranged alphabetically by location & introduce places & establishments, providing you with details of other relevant Michelin publications, situating the businesses & detailing facilities & services, as well as the all important price range. Establishment descriptions look at the atmosphere, décor/style, character & specialities of each hotel/restaurant, marking them with levels of comfort. Hotels & restaurants are regularly & anonymously visited by Michelin inspectors, who experience their stay at each concern as would an ordinary customer. Reader’s comments are an additional valuable source of information when independently compiling each guide. Guides aim to offer a selection of the best hotels & restaurants for comfort & price within each category. The criterion for each establishment’s classification is consistent, irrespective of location. Guides include additional information such as establishment locator maps, European telephone dialing codes, introductory vocabulary & distance charts. ...
