Embassy Suites Hotels today announced the brand's top hotel awards and brand champions. More than 45 awards were presented to hotels chosen from the brand's portfolio of more than 190 hotels throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America. Each honored hotel was sent a trophy and monetary prize and will receive individual recognition at the Embassy Suites regional team meetings being held in June in Phoenix, AZ; Minneapolis, MN; and Charlotte, NC. "Each of our hotels and their team members work diligently to live the Embassy Way everyday and provide the ultimate in guest service," said Jim Holthouser, senior vice president, brand management, Embassy Suites Hotels. "From providing a hot, cooked to order breakfast each morning and a comfortable bed for travelers each night to all of the small touches that Embassy Suites is known for, our team members truly make a difference for our guests and help them be more productive while on the road. We are pleased to honor the Embassy Suites Hotels and team members that epitomize what our brand is all about - guest satisfaction and a high level of customer service."
The Connie Awards, named in honor of company founder Conrad Hilton, are awarded based on the top Total Quality Scores (TQS) category derived from a property's year-to-date, overall service and accommodation scores from Satisfaction and Loyalty Tracking (SALT) reports, plus a 12-month average on Quality Assurance scores. These hotels will be honored with a trophy for display in the hotel and a luncheon hosted by the Embassy Suites brand team. The top three hotels to receive Connie Awards included (in order):
* Embassy Suites St. Louis - St. Charles/Hotel & Spa , Missouri

"Our Connie Awards are given to hotels that are the 'cream of the crop' when it comes to exceptional guest service and operational quality," said Holthouser. "They are all focused on the business of hospitality and know that it's driven by two things - our guests and team members. It's this winning combination that makes our top hotels the very best in all that they do."
The Hervey Feldman Award, named in honor of one of the pioneers of the Embassy Suites brand and the brand's first president, recognizes the Embassy Suites General Manager of Year. The 2007 honor went to John Steinbach, Embassy Suites Lake Tahoe Hotel & Ski Resort, Nevada.
