Peninsula Hotels voted Best Hotels Worldwide

The Peninsula Hotels have scooped top honours in Conde Nast Traveler’s Business Travel Awards, taking the No 1 ranking in both the International and North American categories in the magazine’s October issue.

Business travellers also highly rated Peninsula Hotels for value for money when on the road, with the three US Peninsulas taking the no 3 slot in the domestic “Value for Cost” survey, and the Asian hotels coming in at no 4 in the international rankings on value.

Over two thousand Conde Nast Traveler readers participated in the magazine’s sixth annual business travel survey, reporting on their recent trips. Hotels were graded on Rooms Equipped for Working, Business Services/Facilities, Dining/Restaurants, Frequent Guest Privileges, Front Desk Service, Overall Design and Value for Cost.

“We are delighted that the readers of Conde Nast Traveler have chosen us as their favoured hotel group, and we will continue to strive to surpass their expectations whenever they stay with us” says Clement Kwok, Chief Executive Officer of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, owner of The Peninsula Hotels.

“At the end of the day, business travellers want comfort – and no other hotel chain on the planet provides it as well, apparently, as the seven urban Peninsula properties” says Conde Nast Traveler.

“Check-in is done in your room. Buttons on bedside panels let you draw the curtains, adjust the room temperature and flip on the DO NOT DISTURB sign. Bathrooms have both a speakerphone and a steam-free TV screen above the bathtub. And soon every room will come with high-speed wireless Internet access. The international properties – located in Bangkok, Hong Kong, Manila and Beijing – have the added distinction of achieving a near-perfect dining score (97.8).”

For The Peninsula Hotels, appealing to the business traveller is a work in progress, with the most innovative in-room conveniences designed to make the road warrior’s life easier. The Peninsula Hotels is one of the only hotel groups in the world operating its own research and development arm, constantly pioneering and leading in the development of intuitive and user-friendly technology and design to enhance the business traveller’s hotel experience.
