Hotels are ordered by the latest opening or renovation year recorded in our hotel data. We keep those dates separate because a newly opened hotel and an older property with a recent renovation are not the same thing.
For instance, Merchant Hotel renovated in 2023. Opening and renovation records can refer to the whole property rather than every room. Compare the room type, recent guest feedback and current booking details before choosing.
