WILMINGTON, DE, January 15, 2008. The Inn at Montchanin Village has again been named among the Best 500 Hotels in the World by prestigious Travel + Leisure magazine. The 2008 rankings, compiled by the magazine?s global team of reporters and editors, identifies what differentiates hotels from their competitors; sussed out the best rooms to book; and determined not-to-miss services, amenities and perks.

"We are thrilled to be recognized as a top place to stay, as well as an excellent value," says General Manager Jacques A. Amblard. "This award indicates how hard our staff works to give guests a memorable hospitality experience at this unique destination."
The Inn will add to its services and amenities when its new Spa at Montchanin opens in early summer 2008. Guests will enjoy restorative facials, massages, nail care, and body treatments. Exquisitely appointed state-of-the-art rooms provide the ultimate in a relaxing spa experience.
