Condé Nast Johansens is the leading reference guide to independently owned, annually evaluated hotels, inns and resorts worldwide. Their publications are targeted towards discerning travelers who seek the highest quality, service and facilities in their travel destinations.

THE LEADING SPAS OF THE WORLD.

In 2005, Leading Hotels of the World launched the first global evaluation and certification program for the spa industry. This program began when any Leading Hotels who had a spa component could undergo an inspection where more than 200 areas were reviewed for certification. Criteria taken into consideration ranged from the reservation process, to the spirit of welcoming and atmosphere of the treatment room, to the treatment itself and the farewell.  [Top]

CRISTAL.

This international recognition is delivered when the good quality, hygiene and food handling in general is observed. In order to do so, continuous inspections, auditions and counseling are carried out to evaluate, monitor and control the hotel facilities, its objective being the safety of the guests and employees of the hotel in drinking and eating safe food and beverages.
