Chinese term or phrase: 超五星级酒店
What is "超五星级"?

I see varying translations of "超" in "超五星级"

5 star hotel


Explanation:
I think in the Chinese culture this could mean a really good 5 star hotel. I really need to see the context to be sure however. I would think if the stars exceed 5 it would be written (6 stars, etc.)
