Emporium Hotels has been named Australia’s Leading Boutique Hotel at the 2018 World Travel Awards on Monday 3 September, marking the fourth consecutive year the brand has received the highly acclaimed accolade. Emporium Hotel South Bank was also named Australia’s Leading Hotel Residences for its recently completed Emporium Residences and Emporium Apartments. The winners were announced at the World Travel Awards’ Asia & Australasia Gala Ceremony, held at the InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong.
Emporium Hotel South Bank General Manager Peter Savoff said the team is thrilled to have received two honours at the prestigious awards. “These awards mean a lot to us and are particularly special this year, having made the transition from Emporium Hotel Fortitude Valley to our new, flagship Emporium Hotel South Bank,” said Peter. “To have the exacting, high standards our team prides themselves on continue to be recognised is absolutely wonderful. We are also extremely proud to be awarded the title of Australia’s Leading Hotel Residences 2018, with the recent completion of the Emporium Apartments and Emporium Residences, where we can now extend our acclaimed service into a residential setting. You can imagine what an absolute milestone achievement this is for an independently owned and operated hotel.”
Emporium Hotels first launched in July 2007 with Emporium Hotel Fortitude Valley, which was the sole vision of two individuals Anthony and Francine John of the Anthony John Group. Together they crafted an offering in Brisbane’s boutique luxury hotel market. Emporium Hotel Fortitude Valley went on to win an extensive array of national and international accolades before being sold in 2017. The new, flagship Emporium Hotel South Bank is set to officially open in September 2018.
