King Pacific Lodge Voted No 1 in Canada by Conde Nast Traveler Readers
NORTH VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - October 17, 2011 - King Pacific Lodge, A Rosewood Resort, has garnered the award for top resort in Canada in Conde Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice awards for the fourth consecutive year. Scoring a lofty 97.00, the floating wilderness lodge was also voted No. 16 in the world's Top 100 Travel Experiences. Over 28,000 of Conde Nast Traveler's globe-trotting readers voted for their favourite travel experiences using five resort criteria - food / dining, location, overall design, rooms and service.
King Pacific Lodge president, Michael Uehara, who collected the award in New York on October 10, said: "Our guests are discerning. They travel extensively and are constantly seeking new experiences, new skills or ways to give back. At King Pacific Lodge we aim to keep the experience fresh and relevant. We remain continually in awe of the environment we work in, and strive to provide an experience that is as exceptional as our natural surroundings."
King Pacific Lodge is a floating, luxury, wilderness lodge located in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest. Anchored off Princess Royal Island about 380 km north of Vancouver, the 17-room lodge operates from June to September and offers guests an inclusive experience of guided hikes, sea kayaking, fly fishing and wildlife watching. King Pacific Lodge attracts guests keen to immerse themselves in outdoor adventures in the Great Bear Rainforest, the world's largest remaining tract of temperate rainforest, where guests sometimes catch a glimpse of the rare Kermode or "spirit" bear. From fabulous fishing and Canada's richest whale habitat, to an authentic glimpse of First Nation's culture, King Pacific Lodge offers an unparalleled experience.
The 2012 season runs from June 1 to September 24.
Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards methodology:
The Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Survey, begun in 1988, is available to all readers through a secure Web site. This year's final tabulations of 28,876 responses were done by Global Market Insite, Inc., of Boston. Organization: The online questionnaire contains lists of candidates in various categories (Cities, Hotels, etc.). Individual candidates are judged by relevant criteria for each. Those that receive a required minimum number of responses are deemed eligible for a Readers' Choice Award. Evaluation: Each candidate is rated, criterion by criterion, on a five-point scale: excellent, very good, good, fair, and poor. Those scores, which represent the percentage of respondents rating a candidate excellent or very good, are averaged to determine the final score published here. For example, the Park Hyatt Seoul's rating, 95.2, is the average of its scores for all hotel criteria: Food/Dining, Location, Overall Design, Rooms, and Service.
