As the largest luxury hospitality organisation in the world, membership into the Leading Hotels of the World group is quite a big deal! Hotels and resorts around the world strive to show their excellence and distinction in the hope of being welcomed into this prestigious family.
To date, the group has over 430 of the world’s finest hotels, resorts and spas as members, including iconic hotels such as Maia Luxury Resort & Spa in the Seychelles, The Bellagio Towers Las Vegas and One&Only, The Palm in Dubai. But you don’t have to travel to the ends of the Earth to find a Leading Hotel of the World... just 16 miles away from our offices here in Horwich is the Rocco Forte Lowry Hotel, popular with footballers and other celebs staying in the city centre of Manchester.
The Leading Hotels of the World group also has an impressive presence elsewhere in Europe. Hotels such as the 5 Star deluxe Capri Palace Hotel & Spa combine the beauty of short haul destinations with luxurious accommodation, Michelin starred restaurants and world-renowned spas.
With so many beautiful, un-spoilt areas in Europe that are somewhat undiscovered by tourists, there are more and more luxury hotels gaining membership into the Leading Hotels of the World family.
On the sunshine island of Tenerife, the Gran Bahia Del Duque is a classic resort, popular with couples and families alike. The astronomic observatory on the hotels highest rooftop looks out over one of the cleanest skies in the world where the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and the stars can be seen every night… quite a magical sight I bet!
Another Spanish hotel that has achieved this famous accolade is the Kempinski Hotel Bahia Resort on the sea-front of Marbella. Fashionable, attractive and spacious come to mind when thinking of this hotel and the little added extras such as welcome champagne and spa access makes for a perfectly relaxing holiday.
Across the Med, The Mezzatorre Resort & Spa in Ischia and Kivotos Hotel Mykonos are five star properties that have rightly earned their status as Leading Hotels of the World. The fort-like Mezzatorre Resort & Spa stands on headland, overlooking the Bay of San Montano and the 16th Century Tower housing rooms & suites finished to the highest standards. I can imagine James Bond staying at this hotel in a Deluxe Grand Suite Tower, wining and dining with a beautiful companion.
With such fabulous properties in Europe, just a few hours flight away these hotels are becoming real possibilities for many people seeking a luxury Europe holiday and many hotels in the group are perfect for families, who want luxury resorts without a long-haul flight, as well as couples needing a romantic escape.
