July 21, 2010 – The Sarova Stanley was voted as Kenya’s leading hotel at the 17th World Travel Awards ceremony in South Africa, last week.

The World Travel Awards was expressly launched 17 years ago with the aim of encouraging the international travel and tourism industry to embrace the pursuit of excellence.

Nominated companies for the World Travel Awards are voted online by travel agents globally and then vetted and inspected by a group of industry experts. Issues such as customer relations, creativity, quality of service, standards, guest satisfaction, product innovation and business acumen are considered.

All votes are internally audited to ensure the validity of each individual vote.

David Gachuru, Sarova Stanley’s General Manager, was ecstatic about the announcement; “This timely award acts as an assurance to the world that we truly offer cutting edge service delivery.’’

“It would not have come at a better time than when the hotel’s resident guests were enjoying the World Cup fever.”
