MaMaison Hotels & Apartments honoured with quadruple award
MaMaison Riverside Hotel, Prague
Today, MaMaison Hotels & Apartments announces that its MaMaison Riverside Hotel, Prague, has been honoured with three individual awards in the 2008 TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award. MaMaison Riverside Hotel was awarded 3rd place in the category ‘Best Service in Europe’, and made the final selection for ‘Best Luxury Hotels’ both globally and in Europe.
The winners of TripAdvisors Travelers’ Choice Award were determined by a combination of the highest traveler ratings and the TripAdvisor Popularity Index, a measurement of overall traveler satisfaction. TripAdvisor’s hotel awards represent the unbiased opinions of millions of real travelers.
MaMaison Andrassy Hotel, Budapest
MaMaison Andrassy Hotel, Budapest was also chosen as a Best Value by Budget Travel Magazine in its first-ever Best Values list, powered by TripAdvisor. Featured on the cover of the magazine’s February issue, the list showcases the top hotels around the world with the best value, earning their distinction from those who know them best – real travelers.
“The awards were created to spotlight the hotels that give travelers what they really want: A reliably satisfying experience at a reasonable price,” said Erik Torkells, editor, Budget Travel Magazine. “We were thrilled to partner with TripAdvisor for our first-ever hotel awards program, to draw from their vast and reputable data to develop the list and feature traveler testimonials from their site for the winning hotels.”
“It is highly encouraging to see that we have raised our ranking from last year, and added new awards,” comments JJ Doran, MaMaison Hotels & Apartments Sales and Marketing Director. “In 2007, MaMaison Riverside Hotel was awarded 4th place in the ‘Best Service in Europe’ category. This year we have gone one better. I am also delighted to see that our MaMaison Andrassy Hotel in Budapest has been honoured. What is great about these awards is that they are chosen by real people, unbiased guests who have actually experienced the hotels they are voting for. That is what makes these awards so special for us, and what will make us try even harder to improve our rankings next year. I must extend my thanks to all staff members at both MaMaison Riverside Hotel and MaMaison Andrassy Avenue. Without their dedication and support, none of these awards would have been possible.”
