The 1,402 best travel experiences in the world. The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry and are commonly known as “the best of the best of travel.” Under Editor in Chief Pilar Guzmán, the Readers’ Choice Awards have become more selective and specific to the passions that inspire today’s travelers.
“While we’re always incredibly grateful for industry accolades, these awards carry special significance given their direct correlation to guest feedback and team interaction. We’re so proud that all our full service hotels have once again left a positive mark on travelers, reinforcing our dedication to ‘Timeless Hospitality’ and creating memorable experiences that harness superior locations, thoughtful design and attentive service,” said Doyle Graham, Jr., President and CEO of Valencia Group.
The Readers’ Choice Awards are announced in the November issue of Condé Nast Traveler, on newsstands nationwide on October 25, 2016. The full list is published exclusively online, at http://www.CNTraveler.com/rca.
