The World's Best Awards 2024 ranking by Travel + Leisure also positioned it as the second-best resort in South America, highlighting its heritage offerings.
NEW YORK, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Travel + Leisure, one of the most influential tourism magazines globally, revealed the winners of the World's Best Awards 2024, including the list of the top 100 world's best hotels, where Hotel Casa Real of Viña Santa Rita was ranked #40.
The publication also compiled a ranking of the best resorts in South America, where Hotel Casa Real was positioned in second place.
Located in the Maipo Valley, 45 minutes from Santiago, Hotel Casa Real stands out for its heritage offerings centred on wine. Experiences include touring the 40-hectare centenary park, visiting the neo-Gothic chapel adjacent to the hotel, discovering more than eight types of tours and historical cellars, and enjoying lunch at the Doña Paula restaurant. Moreover, the Andean Museum, part of the Claro Vial Foundation, offers a collection of nearly 3,000 archaeological and ethnographic pieces from pre-Columbian peoples.
For Elena Carretero, Corporate Affairs, Sustainability, and Tourism Manager of Viña Santa Rita, South America is an ideal choice for travellers seeking authentic and sophisticated experiences in the region, and this recognition is a clear reflection of the natural and cultural wealth that Chile has to offer. "Our country provides unique and memorable experiences, from the stunning landscapes of the north to the majesty of Patagonia, along with the wine tradition and history, which is one of Chile's great ambassadors. Hotel Casa Real, along with the other distinguished hotels, symbolizes the effort and passion of the Chilean tourism industry to deliver its natural and cultural essence, forged and preserved over time, to be sustainably visited by national and international visitors. To this end, a world-class service and unparalleled hospitality have been developed. Additionally, wine represents Chile's identity globally, and we are proud to be part of the effort to establish our country as a top-tier destination," she says.
Each year, Travel + Leisure conducts the World's Best Awards ranking, highlighting the best in the travel industry, from hotels and resorts to destinations and airlines.
