Corinthia Hotels has announced that two of its leading five-star hotels, the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa in Malta and the Corinthia Hotel St Petersburg in Russia, have won the coveted titles of Malta’s Leading Hotel and Europe’s Leading Meetings and Conference Hotel respectively, at the World Travel Awards European regional ceremony held in Antalya, Turkey recently.

This is the second year in a row that the Corinthia Palace Hotel and Spa lays claim to this World Travel Awards title, whereas for the Corinthia Hotel St Petersburg, it is the second major accolade in the space of two weeks, having just been declared Best Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events (MICE) Hotel in St Petersburg at the Russian Business Travel & MICE awards.

Set in extensive landscaped gardens, the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa, the Grand Lady of Malta’s luxury hotels, was the very first hotel to fly the Corinthia flag when it opened in 1968 in the presence of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Since then, the world-renowned hotel has become the benchmark for excellence in Malta’s luxury hotel sector and the catalyst for the Corinthia Hotels brand worldwide expansion.

On its part, following total renovation and extension of its two 19th century buildings on the main boulevard in the heart of the famous city, the Corinthia Hotel St Petersburg has become the most sought after business and leisure hotel in the city. Its high levels of services and facilities have been highly praised by local and international representatives of the business community and the many world-famous personalities that have stayed in the hotel.

The Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa and the Corinthia Hotel St Petersburg are operated by CHI Hotels & Resorts.
