The first ever international five-stars are due to be issued to a small number of outstanding hotels. The inaugural European Hotel Awards 2011 in association with Bloomberg Television have now been judged and InterContinental Kiev hotel has been informed that it is amongst the winning companies.
Successful entrants have been invited to attend a high profile gala presentation dinner at the newly refurbished Savoy Hotel in London on January 18th. InterContinental Kiev will then discover whether the company has won a five-star or highly commended award in the category of The Best Hotel.
In addition to categories for all manner of different sized and specifically targeted hotels, there are also sections for the best hotel architecture, interior design, marketing and website covering the entire range of hotel disciplines.
The event is part of the International Property Awards which have been established for 18 years and its award winners’ logo is recognised as a symbol of excellence throughout the global industry. The organizers decided to launch a specific program for the hospitality industry due to an increasing number of entries within its commercial categories. Demand for inclusion has been so great that each category was soon full of the required number of entrants.
Attaining one of these coveted awards is indisputable evidence that InterContinental Kiev hotel is capable of beating some exceedingly strong contenders within the keenly competitive European hospitality arena. Highest scoring winners from the European Hotel Awards are now being re-judged against other winning companies from Asia Pacific, Africa, the Americas and Arabia to find the ultimate World’s Best in each category.
The judging panel consists of 20 professionals whose collective knowledge of the hospitality industry is second to none. This year’s judges include James Bacon, UK account manager of Google; Peter Crome, managing director of Skibo Castle in Scotland; Mike McNamara of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS); David Dalby of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and Rebecca Johnson of Bloomberg TV (Hotel Section). The judges report that the quality of submissions has been extremely high, giving them a difficult task in selecting the winners.
InterContinental Kiev is honored to receive this distinctive award as recognition for its constant journey to provide personalized and luxury services, creating an atmosphere and standard, our guests love,- said Carsten D. Reiher, General Manager of InterContinental Kiev.
