NEW DELHI / BERLIN, November 22, 2005. Every year the association of the "The Leading Hotels of the World" honours the best luxury hotels in the world with The "Commitment to Quality Award." At the congress in New Delhi this year, the Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin was chosen as the best hotel in Europe. With more than 430 members in 80 countries, "The Leading Hotels of the World" is the largest association of luxury hotels, resorts and spas.
The hotels are tested all over the world, usually anonymously, taking a catalogue of 1,500 criteria into consideration - one of the most comprehensive in the industry. The best result in Europe was achieved by the Hotel Adlon Kempinski in Berlin this year, as recognised by the "Commitment to Quality Award." The assessment includes a complete review, from the room furnishings, the work of the housekeepers, the quality of telephone reservations and the response of the service staff to special wishes, right through to the facilities available in the spa area. The Hotel Adlon at the Brandenburg Gate was particularly recognised for its superb service and exceptional quality standards.
"Recognition of good service is always a direct tribute to all of the employees, and I am very proud to be the manager of such an excellent team," says Thomas Klippstein, Hotel Director. "Awards are always a huge commitment, too, of course, and a challenge that we are very happy to meet."
Since its opening in summer 1997, the Hotel Adlon has consistently pursued the highest standards in service. The numerous awards received for outstanding service are the greatest testament to the high regard the hotel enjoys throughout the world.
