How the Index is built

The methodology

Every venue is scored 0–100 on five pillars, weighted to a single total:

Total = .25 × Guest Experience + .25 × Group Readiness + .20 × Setting + .15 × Dining & Wellness + .15 × Value

0125%

Guest Experience

Service depth, rooms and suites, arrival-to-departure polish — the stay itself, judged at incentive standard.

0225%

Group Readiness

Meeting space, event operations, group dining capacity, and how gracefully the property absorbs 100+ guests at once.

0320%

Setting

The place: location, views, grounds, and the sense of arrival that makes a reward trip feel earned.

0415%

Dining & Wellness

Restaurants worth the flight, bar culture, spa and wellness programming that carries an itinerary.

0515%

Value

What the budget buys — rate integrity, group concessions, and cost against the experience delivered.

No venue pays to be ranked. Promoted placements, wherever they appear, are labeled.

Every venue is scored inside its destination context — see the Destination Index™.
