The Balmoral is Scotland's Leading Hotel
Sir Rocco Forte's Balmoral Hotel was voted Scotland's Leading Hotel at the 12th Annual World Travel Awards, held at The Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden on Sunday, 13 November 2005.
A total of 176,000 travel professionals, including 110,000 travel agents, from over 200 countries voted in this year's campaign, indicating the high esteem in which The Balmoral is held by its peers.
It was a night of celebration for The Rocco Forte Collection, as the luxury collection was voted Europe's Leading Luxury Hotel Brand. In addition, Hotel Astoria in St. Petersburg was named Russia's Leading Hotel, and The St David's Hotel & Spa in Cardiff grabbed two gongs: Wales's Leading Hotel and Wales's Leading Spa Resort.
This is proof that Sir Rocco is well on his way to creating a collection of luxury hotels covering all the key cities in Europe, which has always been his stated aim. Each hotel is linked by the same attention to stylish design, comfort and dedication to providing exceptional levels of personalised service.
