TASSIE HOTELS CHOSEN AS BEST IN THE WORLD
Monday 17 December 2007
Three Tasmanian hotels have been chosen by Condé Nast Traveller - one of the UK’s leading travel magazines - as among the best in the world as a part of its 2008 Gold List awards.
Freycinet Lodge, Bay of Fires Lodge, and the Henry Jones Art Hotel were congratulated today by the Minister for Tourism, Arts and the Environment, Paula Wriedt.
“Condé Nast Traveller is the United Kingdom’s premier travel magazine with a global circulation of over 85,000 and the Gold List is its ultimate guide to the world’s top hotels,” Ms Wriedt said.
“The annual Gold List is a selection of the best hotels from around the world, voted by readers and the magazine’s editors to have the best service, rooms, food, ambiance and design, location and leisure facilities.”
Ms Wriedt said Freycinet Lodge at Coles Bay was selected for the excellent food served at its two restaurants; the Bay of Fires Lodge for its spectacular coastal location; and the Henry Jones Art Hotel in Hobart for its superbly appointed rooms.
“These accolades, from a prestigious travel magazine, boost Tasmania’s international reputation and expose the State to thousands of potential visitors looking for high-quality travel experiences,” she said.
“For three Tasmanian hotels to be listed alongside the likes of The Ritz in London and The Peninsula in Hong Kong is a significant achievement and recognition of the quality of accommodation on offer in the State.”
