Mobil Travel Guide History
© Mobil Travel Guide

­Mobil Travel Guide, originator of the prestigious Mobil Star rating and certification program, has provided the most comprehensive ratings and reviews of hotels, restaurants and spas in the United States and Canada for over fifty years. Mobil Travel Guide was created in 1958 following the introduction of the United States interstate highway system to encourage people get in their car and explore the country.

Since then, Mobil Travel Guide has offered consumers unbiased, objective content to help them make informed decisions when traveling.

In 2008, Mobil Travel Guide launched the international star ratings program for hotels and spas with the release of the inaugural Mobil Travel Guide Beijing and Mobil Travel Guide Hong Kong Macau.  Our goal at Mobil Travel Guide is to be the leading global source of objective travel content and star ratings and to provide consumers with reliable travel information via our printed and online products.
