At the Boutique Hotel Awards in London, Auckland’s Hotel Grand Windsor was named 'World's Best New Hotel' and 'Australasia’s Most Inspired Hotel Design'.
The Boutique Hotel Awards are judged by travel industry experts and luxury travel journalists who decided between more than 300 nominees from 80 countries.
“The design was beautiful, elegant, understated and calming. It felt a world away from the hustle and bustle of the central city, it was amazing how you could just step away from it,” commented the judges.
Ronnie Ronalde, group operations manager for CPG Hotels which operates the Hotel Grand Windsor travelled to accept the award in London.
“It is a delight a privilege to be recognised among the world’s best boutique hotels at these distinguished awards. We are truly setting the benchmark for the boutique hotel experience in New Zealand and look forward to continuing to welcome discerning travellers from around the globe as our guests,” said Ronalde.
Previous New Zealand winners at the Boutique Hotel Awards include Bay of Many Coves Resort which won Australasia’s Best Relaxation Retreat in 2016 and Azur Lodge which won Australasia’s Best Relaxation Retreat in 2015.
