first rate

Spanish translation: de primera clase

Tourism & Travel / hotel
English term or phrase: first rate
Buenos días,
Estoy traduciendo una descripción de hotel y aparece la expresión "first rate", pero no entiendo bien qué significa. Lo único que se me ocurre es que todas las instalaciones del hotel son de primera calidad, pero no estoy segura.

¿Una ayudita?

Aquí dejo el contexto:

Standing majestically beside the Tour Eiffel, this iconic 5-star hotel features a landscaped pool, fitness facilities and a first rate.

¡Gracias!

I presume the sentence goes on and does not end with a full stop as you suggest.

In that case the English is just wrong and a first rate here is more or less meaningless. Without the 'a' it would make sense. Probably a typo.

Asker: I have copied the original sentence, it does finish like that :S. It would be much easier if "first rate" worked as an adjective, but that's not the case.
