The good work of Hospes Hotels & Moments has led to it obtaining international recognition in a week when the group has won several of the most important international prizes awarded by professionals from the hotel sector.

On Monday November 6 last, hotel Hospes Amérigo*****, based in Alicante, was awarded the distinction “Most Excellent European Hotel for Design & Innovation”, one of the Annual Distinctions for Excellence awarded by the group Condé Nast Johansens for 25 years now. The jury’s decision was published during the course of a dazzling gala dinner held in the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in London.

Hospes Palacio de los Patos*****, based in Granada, also won two prizes on Wednesday November 8, as part of the European Hotel Design Distinctions awarded at SLEEP 06 (http://www.sleepermagazine.co.uk/Sleep06/index.htm), an annual event that is attended by top professionals in international design. Hospes Palacio de los Patos won the star prize of the evening, the “2006 Hotel Design of the Year” award, and also the “Best Hotel Architecture” award in the “Conversion” category, in recognition for the best project for converting a building not originally intended to be a hotel into a top design hotel establishment. The prize-awarding ceremony was held at the Old Billingsgate Market in London.

Lastly, the Hospes Hotels & Moments group was a finalist in the categories “Best Customer Satifaction Programme” and “Best Social Responsability Programme” belonging to the Hospitality Awards (http://www.hospitalityawards.com/index_uk.asp), a series of annual distinctions granted on Thursday November 9 for the seventh year running, at a gala event held at the Hilton Arc du Triomphe Hotel in Paris. The first of these categories acknowledges the excellent work of Hospes, which is permanently geared towards exceeding the expectations of its customers. The second award, for the best social responsibility programme, is in recognition of the work carried out by Hospes since it was first set up, consisting of improving its social environment, in which the project Sueños, an initiative aimed at fostering the human and scientific values of dreams as a longing or desire and a physiological need, is a clear example.

These distinctions awarded to Hospes Hotels & Moments constitute a reward for its success in winning the trust of its guests and providing them with comfortable accommodation and revitalising experiences.

Furthermore, Hospes Hotels & Moments promotes the recovery of historic, cultural and architectural heritage in all the cities in which it has hotel establishments. Each of the Hospes establishments is set in a singular and unique neighbourhood, and housed in historic buildings that have been returned to their citizens thanks to the efforts of the architects and interior decorators belonging to the Hospes Design team. Each hotel offers the most select Senzone cuisine, based on the natural quality of the ingredients and local dishes, and Bodyna Spa, a full array of services based on natural therapies and products specially created to guarantee the wellbeing and relaxation of its clientele.
