The editors of Forbes Traveler conducted a poll among their top travel connoisseurs, asking them to rate nearly 800 of the world's best hotels and to name the Single Best Hotel Overall. The common denominator among the panel, which included celebrities, travel industry executives, journalists and business leaders, was that each of these affluent travellers had stayed in at least 20 five-star hotels during the past year. Using criterion such as room quality, service, decor and cuisine, Italy's Villa d'Este stood out among the crowd, coming in at the top of this most prestigious of lists.
"We are incredibly humbled by this recognition. We realize that the luxury travel industry has changed significantly over the last 136 years that we've been doing business; we have always strived to adapt with our clients without sacrificing the old-world charm, sophistication and commitment to best in class service that is our hallmark," said Jean Marc Droulers, CEO of the Villa d'Este Group Hotels.
The Grand Hotel Villa d'Este is located on the western shore of Italy's Lake Como. Surrounded by 25 acres of gardens, the hotel has 152 rooms housed in two equally beautiful buildings, the Cardinal Building (1568) and the Queen's Pavillion (1861). In addition, two private villas are available for short-term tenancies, Villa Malakoff (3200sf) and Villa Cima (7000sf).
The Villa d'Este Group Hotels owns the award-winning Villa d'Este, which is a Leading Hotel of the World as well as Villa La Massa in Candeli-Florence, also a Small Leading Hotel of the World.
