The World Luxury Hotel Awards aims to provide luxury hotels with recognition for their world-class facilities and service excellence. Awards are presented to luxury hotels in the categories of country, continent and global basis. The judging criteria is based upon facilities and service excellence provided by hotels. Size of a property is not taken into consideration during the nomination or voting phases.
General Manager of the Kingsbury, Scott Mawhinney was elated by the award. “We’re in a phase where tourism is making the world a smaller and a more familiar place. The boundaries are only a state of mind to a seasoned traveller. The tourism product on a global scale is developing in leaps and bounds to accommodate further segmentation. The business traveller is one such segment that’s setting the pace in this race and this is truly an honour to Sri Lanka and to all of us at The Kingsbury to have won the best luxury business hotel award for 2015″.
