RECOGNISING SERVICE EXCELLENCE IN THE LUXURY HOTEL INDUSTRY
ABOUT World Luxury Hotel Awards
Established in 2006, World Luxury Hotel Awards is the pinnacle of achievement in the luxury hotel industry, offering international recognition as voted by guests, travelers and industry players alike. Over 300 000 international travelers vote each year, during a three-week period to select the winners. Luxury hotels have the opportunity to participate in the World Luxury Hotel Awards by entering hotel categories that showcase their unique selling points and destinations.
Why enter our awards? Participation alone delivers brand growth. As an official participant, each hotel receives a fully comprehensive website profile, along with a digital marketing service and promotional campaign toolkit to ensure maximum exposure on all marketing platforms. Winning a World Luxury Hotel Award will not only inspire the confidence of guests and retain a loyal clientele in this highly competitive market, but it will also stimulate continuous growth and development of your hotel.
How was my hotel nominated? Luxury hotels can nominate themselves, be nominated by guests, travel agents or tour operators for consideration in the World Luxury Hotel Awards, which is made possible by the nomination facility on our website. Constant feedback from guests about their experience at a property allows us to evaluate the respective hotels to qualify them for participation. The successfully qualifying hotels are then formally invited (or accepted) to participate and register in the awards. Official nominees will automatically be invited to register in the following year’s award season at a preferential rate.
