London, Paris, Frankfurt and beyond: CNBC names Europe’s best hotels for business travel

There are still challenges for international travel.

Finding a good hotel is not one of them.

The best hotels for business travelers in Europe were ranked by CNBC Travel and Statista.

CNBC and Statista are releasing rankings of hotels in the Middle East today. The Asia-Pacific was ranked in September.

We analyzed more than 10,000 four- and five-star hotels to come up with a list of corporate travelers' trust levels. A three-step process was used to do this.

• Asking business travelers and hotel industry professionals to answer a CNBC reader survey which ran from May 3 to June 7, 2022.
• Reviewing more than 1 million hotel data points, which included objective information (location, business facilities, food, leisure activities and room characteristics) and subjective reviews (gathered from Google, TripAdvisor, Expedia and similar websites).
• Weighting the data to prioritize the hotel characteristics deemed most important in the reader survey.
