Marco
Polo Ortigas Manila General Manager, Frank Reichenbach, received the hotel’s
Five-Star award from Forbes Travel Guide, the global authority on luxury travel
since 1958, in The Pierre, New York.
With
over 1, 468 winners in 42 countries across the globe, 22 of these are newly
rated as Five-Star hotels. It is the first time that a property from Manila has
made it to the list.
To
celebrate this year’s award, Star-Rated winners were invited to the Forbes
Travel Guide All-Star Celebration. Attendees enjoyed selections of dishes
prepared by award-winning chefs and legends of the international culinary
world, including: Jose Garces, Amada; Christian
Pratsch,
Asiate; Daniel Boulud, Daniel; Mario Batali and Joe and Lidia Bastianich, Del
Posto; Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Jean-Georges; Geoffrey Zakarian, The Lambs
Club; and Michael White, Vaucluse.
"This
year’s Star-Rated properties—the largest and most global group in the company’s
history—achieved an impeccable standard of excellence in hospitality,
underscoring our overall mission of positively contributing to the
international tourism industry as well as the individual hotel experience,”
said Gerard J. Inzerillo, Chief Executive Officer of Forbes Travel Guide. “We
are excited to recognize the 2017 Star Rating recipients, an exceptional
collection of hotels, restaurants and spas with a strong culture of service. In
an online environment of confusion and clutter, Forbes Travel Guide is the most
trusted source of information to assist guests in making informed decisions,”
Inzerillo said. “We are proud to congratulate everyone who showed dedication to
their guests and employees.”
Considered
as the Olympics in the hotel industry, Forbes Travel Guide is a prestigious award
giving body that recognizes the most luxurious hotels, restaurants, and spas
worldwide. Marco Polo Ortigas Manila earned the coveted Five-Star rating — the
mark of ‘outstanding, iconic properties with virtually flawless service and
amazing facilities.’
“To be
one of the two hotels in Manila that received the Five Star rating is a great
pride for the hotel, the Marco Polo Hotels group, and the hospitality industry
in Manila and the Philippines. This definitely raises the bar on how we provide
luxury services to our clients. We will continue to live and exceed guest
expectations in terms of service and facilities. Our Forbes Travel Guide Five
Star ranking will definitely boost business and will give us the marketing
advantage, which will have a positive impact in all aspects of the hotel,” General
Manager of Marco Polo Ortigas Manila and recipient of the 2016 General Manager
of the Year (ASEAN Region) Award, Mr. Frank Reichenbach said.
