Hi,

I just want to clarify that the website you point out as Caesar Park Rio is NOT the hotel site, please check: http://bit.ly/72tWu5

The web site you claim is from Caesar Park is just a screen scaping poor attempt of booking page, don’t even know hosted by whom.

I think it is very important for these hotels to have a spectacular website to match their reputation (even if they are not generating revenue via their website). These hotels really care about their image and presence at their physical location, why should they not care about their online presence. The fact of the matter is, that most people these days like to see where they will be staying at, especially if it is a reputable hotel. You will never see the staff at these hotels with dirty uniforms and give bad customer service. A website is an extension of your business, it should always look presentable with staff that provides excellent customer service. By having an ugly, outdated website with links that do not work, you are giving a bad presence and poor customer service. I really hope someone from these hotels takes a look at these reviews.

That blurb about the Belagio: ---- "And that’s supposed to be a homepage - a first thing a visitor sees about this hotel. Plus, once again, the homepage is overloaded with the links that are as we all know harder to comprehend for the audience than media elements." ---- Yes, hard to comprehend just like your description.

The author of this article doesn't seem to understand the concept of a Luxury Brand. Over-the-top design doesn't always equate to good design. Savoy and Belaggio both succeed in establishing a LUXURY BRAND in their designs through simple, elegant, minimalist, photographic-intensive style. The Belaggio in particular has perfect use of margins, texture, line, and colors. I think the site is near flawless, and I'm astounded that it's being compared with some of the other sites on this list.

I think what the author of this article is forgetting is that a hotel website IS a postcard (in essence). It's not Hotels.com - it's a brochure site intended to show off the property and sell people on the experience. The Bellagio website does just that. Half of these hotels I never even heard of. The ones I know, their websites aren't as bad as portrayed to be. My 2 cents. The Bellagio website is better than most Monster Templates I’ve seen.
