Adare Manor, located near Limerick and Shannon International Airport, and adjacent to charming Adare Village with its storied thatched roof houses, is one of western Ireland’s most exclusive Five Star, gothic castle hotels. It is also “Ireland’s Leading Hotel,” according to the World Travel Awards, which have been described by The Wall Street Journal as the 'Oscars’ of travel and tourism.
Another of Ireland’s most renowned resorts, the Five Star Kildare Hotel, Spa and Country Club, affectionately known as The K Club, which is near Dublin City Centre and Dublin International Airport and was the host of the 2006 Ryder Cup as well as the 2011 Big Break golf reality series, was voted by the World Travel Awards as "Ireland's Leading Golf Resort.”
“We are delighted to receive this prestigious recognition,” says Anita Higgins, general manager of Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort. “We strive every day and with every guest to be one of the very best hospitality experiences in Ireland, and are so pleased to have this recognized by the World Travel Awards.”
“We are just thrilled with this honor,” said Michael Davern, CEO and general manager of The K Club. “Our award-winning golf experience is matched by the exceptional resort amenities at our K Spa, in our restaurants, and throughout the property and its destination near Dublin.” Mr. Davern continued with, “This is another important award for us in 2011, as earlier The K Club was selected as AA Hotel of The Year.”
There are many hospitality awards throughout the world, but only one World Travel Awards. This year, a phenomenal 213,000 industry professionals participated in the voting process, which is scrupulously monitored and independently audited.
Since World Travel Awards ‘burst’ on to the international travel and tourism scene 18 years ago, the organization has been making a steady and significant, long term impact. It has taken a global lead on one of the most important aspects of travel and tourism – the quality customer experience.
Arguably, excellent customer experience is one of the last differentiators in hospitality. It is for this reason that the World Travel Awards have become renowned and coveted. Many companies believe that they deliver superior customer experience, but sadly, this is often not matched by the perceptions of their customers. World Travel Awards' aim has been to encourage world-class competition, to stimulate innovation and creativity, and to ensure travellers receive exceptional value.
