Five Hotels from Adelaide Recognised in the 2010 HotelClub Hotel Awards

October 7, 2010, Adelaide – HotelClub (www.hotelclub.com), a world-leading global accommodation website offering hotel and accommodation bookings, today announced five winners from Adelaide in the HotelClub Hotel Awards 2010.

HotelClub Hotel Awards is a flagship programme from HotelClub that will this year honour outstanding hotels via two award types – the Popular Destinations awards and the Best Kept Secrets awards. The Popular Destinations awards are split into categories for Outstanding Value, Outstanding Service and Outstanding Luxury, honouring HotelClub's most outstanding hotels in the most popular hotel destinations around the world. In contrast, the Best Kept Secrets awards are divided into Outstanding Beach Resort, Outstanding Secluded Boutique Hotel and Top Hotel on a Shoestring Budget categories that give recognition to the most outstanding hotels in the hottest up-and-coming destinations for 2010.

This year, five award-winning Adelaide hotels have been recognised under the Popular Destinations awards. One winner – the Hilton Hotel Adelaide – has won in two separate categories. The winners are as follows:

Winners in the Outstanding Value category

- Oaks Horizon Hotel Adelaide
- Medina Grand Adelaide Treasury Hotel
- Hilton Hotel Adelaide

Winners in the Outstanding Service category

- Hilton Hotel Adelaide
- Stamford Grand Hotel Adelaide
- The Sebel Playford Adelaide

The Popular Destinations winners have been selected based on genuine guest reviews posted on www.hotelclub.com.

The three winning Adelaide hotels and seven other Adelaide finalists in each category will receive a beautifully designed certificate for their lobby or reception area. Furthermore, they will enjoy extensive promotion by HotelClub over the next 12 months.

For example, the 10 Adelaide hotels in each category will be listed on HotelClub's brand-new Hotel Awards mini-site and will be flagged in HotelClub's search results with a special hotel awards ribbon. HotelClub will also promote the hotels through social media including blogs, Facebook and Twitter. The extensive awards promotion ultimately benefits travellers in helping them make better informed choices on their hotel bookings. Travellers are further rewarded when booking with HotelClub through the pioneering HotelClub Rewards Program, where every booking made earns them HotelClub Member Dollars, which can be used on their next booking.

Said Timothy Hughes, HotelClub's Vice President of Hotel Services for Asia Pacific: "HotelClub sends our heartiest congratulations to all the winners of the Hotel Awards 2010. The Best Kept Secrets winners have risen to the top based on objective assessments by HotelClub's team of experts. The Popular Destinations winners have been selected based on genuine guest reviews posted on www.hotelclub.com. We look forward to enduring partnerships with the winners over the next 12 months and beyond."
