“The Readers’ Choice Awards are particularly meaningful to The Leading Hotels of the World because they celebrate our shared emphasis with Condé Nast Traveler on customer centricity,” said Ted Teng, president and chief executive officer of The Leading Hotels of the World. “Ultimately, what is important is the ability of the hotel to make an individual customer happy. Our members honored in the Readers’ Choice Awards do this exceptionally well by creating tailored experiences for their individual guests. We can talk about quality and standards, but in the end, this does not matter without a happy guest.”
The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and one of the most important 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.
