\"Virtuoso\"<\/p>\n

Global luxury travel network\u00a0Virtuoso<\/a>\u00ae revealed the hotels and hoteliers nominated for its coveted\u00a0Best of the Best<\/i>\u00a0awards this year. All nominees are part of the industry-defining Virtuoso Hotels & Resorts program, which boasts over 1,300 hand-selected properties worldwide and more five-star hotels than any other program.<\/p>\n

Guests who book their stay through a Virtuoso advisor enjoy exclusive benefits valued at more than\u00a0$500<\/span>\u00a0per stay at these properties, which span more than 100 countries. Travelers can now take advantage of booking their stay at more than 1,100 select properties online at\u00a0www.Virtuoso.com<\/a>\u00a0and receive access to Virtuoso’s exclusive perks.<\/p>\n

This year’s contenders across nine categories were chosen by the network and the editors of\u00a0Virtuoso Life<\/i>\u00a0magazine, and represent the height of achievement in their given category. The 10th<\/sup>\u00a0category focuses on sustainable travel and recognizes the hotels that most embody the commitment to the three pillars of sustainable tourism: preserving the environment, supporting local economies and celebrating cultures.<\/p>\n

“When evaluating hotels and resorts at this level, the stakes are much higher and it goes beyond the beauty of the hotel or its location,” said\u00a0Albert Herrera<\/span>, Virtuoso senior vice president, Global Product Partnerships. “We seek out the hotels that are taking it to the next level, setting trends in their respective areas and offering the guest something they won’t find anywhere else. To us, that’s what being the\u00a0Best of the Best\u00a0is all about. The hotels and hoteliers who rose to the top this year set a new standard in an extremely competitive landscape, and it’s that shared commitment to being the best that helps Virtuoso maintain its position as the leader in luxury travel.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
