Where is the most sophisticated city hotel or the most exclusive hotel worldwide?
Who offers the finest ambience, the most attentive service, the most extensive wellness programme?
The excellence of a hotel is best assessed by those who have already stayed in it and formed a personal opinion
of the quality of the service, the culinary offers and the wellbeing factor. For this reason we have asked
our VIP International Traveller readers to choose the respective best in 15 selected categories. This year a wide range of
first-class luxury domiciles participated in reaching a critical judgement, the lucky winners
are announced in this issue.

Wo befindet sich das mondänste Stadthotel oder das exklusivste Hotel weltweit?
Wer bietet das schönste Ambiente, den aufmerksamsten Service, das umfangreichste Verwöhnprogramm?
Wie exzellent ein Hotel ist, können am besten diejenigen beurteilen, die schon dort waren und sich persönlich ein Urteil
von der Qualität des Services, des kulinarischen Angebots sowie von dem Wohlfühlfaktor gebildet haben.
Aus diesem Grund haben wir Sie, unsere Leser/innen des VIP International Traveller darum gebeten, in 15 ausgewählten
Kategorien die jeweils Besten zu wählen. In diesem Jahr nahm eine Vielzahl erstklassiger Luxusdomizile daran teil,
sich Ihrem kritischen Urteil zu stellen und dessen glückliche Gewinner küren wir in dieser Ausgabe.
