THERE was double joy for Corinthia Hotels when two of its leading five-star hotels, the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa in Malta and the Corinthia Hotel St Petersburg in Russia, took the titles of Malta’s Leading Hotel and Europe’s Leading Meetings and Conference Hotel at the World Travel Awards European regional ceremony held in Antalya, Turkey.
This is the second year in a row that the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa lays claim to this World Travel Awards title, whereas for the Corinthia Hotel St Petersburg, it is the second major accolade in the space of two weeks, having just been declared ‘Best Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events (Mice) Hotel in St Petersburg’ at the Russian Business Travel & Mice awards.
Set in extensive landscaped gardens, the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa, the ‘Grand Lady’ of Malta’s luxury hotels, was the very first hotel to fly the Corinthia flag when it opened in 1968. Since then, the world renowned property has become the benchmark for excellence in Malta’s luxury hotel sector and the catalyst for the ‘Corinthia Hotels’ brand worldwide expansion.
For its part, following total renovation and extension of its two 19th century buildings on the main boulevard in the heart of the famous city, the Corinthia Hotel St Petersburg has become the most sought after business and leisure hotel in the city.
