How many 6-star hotels are there in the world?
...and what are their locations?
Answers:
As others have said, there is not one international standard of hotel grading, which means that the question cannot really be answered.
However, the Burj al Arab in Dubai does claim to be 7-star. The smallest suites (there are no normal rooms) start at around £700 pppn (incl. taxes); your transfer from the airport is either by one of the fleet of Rolls Royce Silver Seraphs or by helicopter to the top of the hotel. One of the restaurants is 200m up in the sky (afternoon tea there costs AED 220, which is about £32 or $60), and another is underwater, reached by a (simulated) submarine ride!
Jumeirah IS still in Dubai, but the hotel has been built just offshore on a man-made island. When I was staying at the Jumeirah Beach hotel several years ago (when we could see the Burj al Arab being constructed), we were told by a local businessman that the royal family that owned it wanted a casino, but this was technically forbidden by the muslim religion of the country. So, they had it built offshore to get around the problem!

i dunno how many but i went past one in cyprus near pathos and there is one in dubai

I don't think it is a valid grading.
dont know
not that many, to be honest yo would have to look at Dubai and the far east.
A lot of places only go as for as 5red star ratings.
i`ve never heard of six stars
In some countries, there is an official body with standard criteria for classifying hotels, but in many others there is none. There have been attempts at unifying the classification system so that it becomes an internationally recognized and reliable standard but large differences exist in the quality of the accommodation and the food within one category of hotel, sometimes even in the same country.
[edit]
A "five star hotel"
However, regardless of what public or private agency performs the classification, the term five star hotel is always associated with the ultimate luxury (and, by implication, expense). The lack of standardisation has allowed marketing-driven inflation, with some hotels claiming six stars; the Burj al-Arab markets itself as "the world's first seven-star hotel." Well established prestige hotels are usually content to claim the traditional five.
[edit]
General meaning of rating by stars
The five categories can be described (loosely) as follows:
* (one star) — low budget hotel; inexpensive; may not have maid service or room service.
** (two stars) — budget hotel; slightly more expensive; usually has maid service daily.
*** (three stars) — middle class hotel; moderately priced; has daily maid service, room service, and may have dry-cleaning, Internet access, and a swimming pool.
**** (four stars) — first class hotel; expensive (by middle-class standards); has all of the previously mentioned services; has many "luxury" services (for example: massages or a health spa).
***** (five stars) — luxury hotel; most expensive hotels/resorts in the world; numerous extras to enhance the quality of the client's stay (for example: some have private golf courses and even a small private airport).
The AAA and their affiliated bodies use diamonds instead of stars to express hotel and restaurant ratings levels.
Traditional systems rest heavily on the facilities provided, which is often disadvantageous to smaller hotels whose quality of accommodation could fall into one class but the lack of an item such as an elevator would prevent it from reaching a higher categorization.
Dubai certainly has some of the most "AMAZING" hotels in the world.
