Have you stayed in these award winning hotels?
Hotel search website trivago releases the results of its annual trivago Awards, using over 175 million aggregated hotel reviews to determine the best rated hotels in Australia.
This year, the top rated hotels have been awarded across six different categories: 5-star, 4-star, 3-star, Alternative Accommodation, Value for Money and Chain Hotel.
“As an independent source of hotel information with data on over 175 million guest reviews, we are well positioned to identify the top-rated hotels that excel at delivering exceptional guest experiences,” said Johannes Thomas, Managing Director of trivago.
“The trivago Awards give us the chance to recognise and honour the hard-working hoteliers behind these exemplary hotels, and we are thrilled to do so again this year.”
All winning hotels receive exclusive award-indicators (certificates to put on display, widgets for their websites and social media pages, and more) that can increase their visibility and guest appeal online and offline. And the single top hotel in each category also gets to take home a coveted trivago Awards trophy along with a winner’s badge for their hotel profile.
Mayfair Hotel in Adelaide has been awarded the best 5-star hotel in Australia. Martin Radcliffe, General Manager, attributes their customer service.
“A great deal of care and attention goes into the delivery of a guest experience that is of the highest quality, distinctly South Australian, and personalised where possible to ensure a memorable stay.”
