And Florida serves it up on a silver platter: lavish resorts, sumptuous spas, trend-setting dining and the world's grandest yachts. About 100 top-shelf hotels and resorts will be featured.Unique to this series will be an exclusive Open Road ranking, with our own Open Road LuxScore ratings; based on our own formula for ratings (on a 1-10 scale). Hotel descriptions will also feature keywords that will be set in color to stand out from the rest of the text.The book will be similar to Open Road's 'Best Places to Stay' chapter featured in each of our destination guides, and will go in-depth to include much more detail than the usual paragraph or two most guides give to hotel write-ups. Author and professional travel writer Janet Groene will explore the ins and outs of such luxurious hotels as the Mandarin Oriental Miami, the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island, the Chesterfield Palm Beach, and Sanibel Harbor Resort & Spa. Select cruises and Florida-based charter yachts will be featured as well.Each entry will feature the following: A Best Nearby Attractions: (local galleries, world class golf course, festival or cultural event);A Best Room or Rooms (for view, unusual furnishings, anything else that makes the room so incredible);A Best For (whom): (e.g. families, singles, honeymooners, adventure travelers);A Best Dining (best dining room within the resort or best meals outside property if no restaurant on-site, signature dishes).A Best Service Feature (this is key for people looking for luxuryaccommodations, and will be one of the main things distinguishing our series from any other routine guidebook description)A Best Little Extras (will include specific anecdotal details whenever possible).
