Swissôtels Asia triumph at World Travel Awards

A number of Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts hotels were singled out by this year's World Travel Awards in Asia. Two Swissôtels in Singapore were awarded coveted prizes, Swissôtel The Stamford, as both Asia's and Singapore's leading conference hotel, and the Swissôtel Merchant Court, as Singapore's leading business hotel.

Furthermore, the Swissôtel Nai Lert Park in Bangkok was voted Thailand's leading business hotel, and the Swissôtel Grand in Shanghai was named as being both Asia's leading city hotel and China's leading new hotel.

The World Travel Awards, also referred to as the "Oscars of the travel industry" by The Wall Street Journal, cover the entire travel sector. Results are based on an independent vote by 167,000 travel agents and tourism experts in over 200 countries.

"Being recognised by the World Travel Awards in this way confirms our company slogan, a passion for perfection, which is based on our warm Swiss hospitality combined with quality, efficiency and reliability", says Meinhard Huck, President Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts. "It is particularly pleasing that the Swissôtel Grand in Shanghai, which only opened a few months ago, has already established a reputation to earn it these two awards."
