Usage Note
Categoría means both a classification category and a level of quality or standing (de primera categoría = 'first-rate', 'top-tier'). Beyond the English sense of a class or grouping, it frequently carries this notion of rank or prestige (un hotel de categoría = 'a top-class hotel'). The related verb is categorizar ('to categorize').
Examples
"Este hotel es de primera categoría."
