Choice Hotels International, the global hotel group behind the Comfort, Quality, Sleep Inn and Clarion brands and one of the largest and most successful lodging franchisors in the world, announced that it has awarded Quality Hotel Edinburgh Airport its European Quality Hotel of the Year, which tied with Quality Hotel Bordeaux Airport, and Comfort Inn Edgware Road, W2, London as the European Comfort Hotel of the Year.
The two UK-based hotels were judged to be the best out of the Quality and Comfort hotels operating throughout Europe and beat other short-listed properties located in Sweden, France, Italy, Norway and Germany.
The winners were selected by reviewing each property’s guest satisfaction and cleanliness scores and by demonstrating consistent brand performance. The Quality Hotel Edinburgh Airport was also recognised recently as the best airport-based hotel in Scotland by the Scottish Hotel Awards.
Duncan Berry, COO, Choice Hotels Europe, commented, "The owners, general managers and employees of these hotels should be proud to receive this recognition which signifies a great accomplishment. We here at Choice Hotels certainly are proud of them."
Malika Navjavon, General Manager, Comfort Inn Edgware Road, W2, said, “We are delighted to be recognised as European Comfort Hotel of the Year. We believe we offer an excellent Central London hotel experience for both business and leisure travellers alike”.
The Choice Hotels Europe portfolio of franchised hotels offers business and leisure travellers a full spectrum from premium economy to luxury hotels. Choice Hotels Europe franchises nearly 500 hotels across Europe alone, including 47 here in the UK which will soon benefit from an enhanced brand standards programme to be rolled out during 2009.
