Top Asia Pacific Hotels named in Inaugural "Stellar Stays" Awards 2013

SYDNEY - HotelsCombined has revealed 33 stand-out hotels across the region which have made the cut in its inaugural ‘Stellar Stays’ list for 2013.
 
"Stellar Stays" is not a ranking list but a group of outstanding hotels judged on a strict set of criteria. All currently rate 9.0 and over with a minimum of 250 customer reviews on the HotelsCombined site, have a significant community or environmental program, and have received at least three major industry awards in the past year. Hotel reviews on HotelsCombined are aggregated from over 27 million reviews from multiple travel and review sites. Hotels are ranked out of a potential score of 10 - making a score of 9.0 or higher quite a feat.

Kristen McKenzie, Head of PR and Community at HotelsCombined, said, “Judged on detailed criteria, the result is an independent selection of properties that are truly extraordinary on a variety of levels. Not only do these hotels boast a high satisfaction rating amongst both guests and travel industry experts, but they  also strive to make a positive difference with dedicated environmental and community initiatives. Conscientious tourism is a subject we take very seriously at HotelsCombined as evidenced by our Green Hotels and Responsible Tourism Initiative. We are delighted to applaud those similarly working towards a more sustainable future for the industry.”
