How this reads
Every entry follows the same shape: what the building is and where it stands, how it is put together and which rooms are shared, and what is worth settling in writing before a visit. Nothing is compared with anything else, and no hotel is placed above another.
The sources are hotel websites, published maps and press coverage. Where a statement could not be confirmed, it was rewritten until it stood without that support. Winter buildings of snow and ice are treated apart, because they exist for one season and are made again each year.
