Australian hotels are hot property

Four Australian properties have featured on Expedia’s 2015 Insiders’ Select rankings, an annual crowd-sourced list of the world’s best hotels.

Insiders’ Select listed properties are recognised as hotels that consistently deliver value in terms of competitive prices, pristine amenities and superior customer service that sees them maintain a minimum guest score of 4.7 out of 5 on the Expedia website.

The top-ranked Australian hotel was the 4.5 star Xanadu Main Beach Resort on the Gold Coast.
