2013’s best hotel brand in the world
Oberoi Hotels & Resorts have been voted this year as the Worlds Best Hotel Brand by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. The award is a result of a readers survey, led by the publication. Travel + Leisures Worlds Best Awards are amongst the most prestigious in the international travel industry, as it is the readers themselves who define excellence in hospitality and luxury travel.
Mr. P.R.S Oberoi, Executive Chairman of The Oberoi Group, said of the award I am very proud that Oberoi Hotels & Resorts have been voted the Worlds Best Hotel Brand. Our guests have given us the highest ranking because we have built and maintained our hotels with care and our employees have exceeded guests expectations. The exceptional ranking is recognition that we have excellent hotels and the best employees in the hospitality industry.
Oberoi Hotels & Resorts have received numerous awards for their excellence. This year alone, the Oberoi Udaivilas in Indias beautiful lake city of Udaipur was voted as Best Resort in Asia, and the Oberoi Vanyavilas in the jungle town of Ranthambhore was voted Best Wildlife Resort in India.
Oberoi Hotels are predominantly located in India, although last month they welcomed the opening of the brand new Oberoi Dubai. The Oberoi Dubai is a contemporary luxury hotel, overlooking the famous Burj Khalifa. Oberoi Hotels are also located in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Mauritius.
