WORLD’S BEST HOTELS

A Celebration of the World’s Best Hotels...

International Hotel Awards. This is a global competition where qualifying hotels are judged against other International Five Star Standard recipients to determine the World’s Best Hotel winners. It has been a hugely gratifying task to seek out, highlight and reward excellence within the global hospitality industry. Our continuing aim is to identify the ‘World’s Best Hotels’ through our stringent selection process. This is carried out in the first instance by a team of dedicated researchers. They search for prime examples of different sized and specifically targeted hotels as well as the best hotel architecture, interior design, marketing strategies STUART SHIELD President, International Hotel Awards

What began with a sparkâ&#x20AC;Ś emerges as an icon.

The difference is Gaggenau. We have been perfecting one oven for 30 years. Our latest rendition accentuates its distinctive design: the door panel is now created from one imposing 90 cm wide sheet of 3 mm high-grade stainless steel. It represents one vast entrance to culinary potential. This remodelled, hand-crafted work of art represents the culmination of our finest principles, skills and ethos. We christened it the EB 333 in recognition of our 333 years of working in metal. This has always been more than an oven; it is a promise to create masterpieces.
