Recently winning multiple TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice awards, Astoria Hotels and Resorts secures its position as the premier hotel for business and leisure travellers
In the heyday of the hospitality industry, notable organisations like Forbes Travel Guide (formerly Mobil) ranked hotels to indicate the class and quality they can provide travellers with. Evaluating bodies base ratings upon actual visits by paid inspectors who assess the properties with a demanding list of criteria.
Now, it’s a different story—social media has become the means of travel research, democratising varieties of opinions and ratings. Popular hotel travel sites like TripAdvisor have given travellers— regular people—access to submit their own opinions on their stay and how the hotel’s service fared. It’s not just industry inspectors grading quality; the customers’ opinion also matters as it influences whether one should stay or not.
Gaining the consistent top spot since 2017, Astoria Hotels and Resorts has once again won the top prize as the only hotel in the Philippines with three properties included in the globally recognised TripAdvisor 2019 Travellers’ Choice Awards. This acclaim proves the organisation is more than just beautiful location and facilities.
Astoria Current ranks first in the Top 25 Hotels in the Philippines and 11th in the Top 25 Hotels for Service category. Astoria Palawan is at the 6th spot and Astoria Boracay places 12th. Astoria Palawan wins the top spot for the Top 25 Hotels for Families category and tops at 9th in the world, making the property the only Philippine-based resort to be included in the worldwide list.
Astoria highlights the finer luxuries of hotel living through its spacious suites. For example, the interiors in Astoria Current exude a colourful and avant-garde aesthetic: the rooms are washed in vivid hues and bathed in natural light. The room comes with air-conditioning, cable TV with DVD player, and safety deposit box for travellers’ comfort during their stay.
