Methodology

All the hotels reviewed on this website have hosted stays that are minimally 2-nights and complimentary in nature. The restaurant and spa experiences are also hosted by the hotels. Scoring a spot on our FAB List is based solely on merits as gleamed over the review stays. The establishments are judged on the following criteria - Service, Design, Rooms, Dining and Wellness. Only exceptional hotels will be inducted into our FAB Lists with stringent re-evaluations conducted every 2 years. The FAB Gold List is an annual list published on 1 Jan, only to be inhabited by the crème de la FAB.
