MEMPHIS - Hilton Garden Inn, the worldwide brand of upscale, yet affordable, hotels announced today its top hotels of 2011. Nearly 70 individual and hotel awards were presented to hotels chosen from the brand's portfolio of more than 530 hotels worldwide. The 2011 Hotel of the Year and Connie Award Winner was the Hilton Garden Inn Salt Lake City/Downtown.
"Our guests can count on Hilton Garden Inn for a successful stay whether they're travelling for business or leisure. Each of the team members at our hotels worldwide work tirelessly to make that happen," said Adrian Kurre, Global Head, Hilton Garden Inn brand. "They provide a great sleep experience and delicious cooked-to-order breakfasts, but it's also the small things they do that demonstrate the special Hilton Garden Inn touch and create loyal guests. It is our pleasure to recognize the Hilton Garden Inn hotels that embody what this brand is all about - guest satisfaction and a high level of customer service."
The Connie Award, named in honor of company founder Conrad Hilton, is awarded to the top hotel of the year based on three key components, including: quality assurance audits measuring cleanliness, condition and brand standards; customer scores rating staff service; and customer service scores rating the quality of the hotel's physical accommodations. The winner represents the highest scores in the brand system in all of these categories. The 2011 Hilton Garden Inn Connie Award winner was the Hilton Garden Inn Salt Lake City/Downtown. 2011 marks the third consecutive year the hotel was awarded this honor.
The top hotel awards were presented based on year-end scores and results from the Hilton Garden Inn Balanced Scorecard, a tool used by the brand to measure and track overall performance of each Hilton Garden Inn hotel in various key performance indicators: Satisfaction and Loyalty Tracking (SALT) survey, Quality Assurance, and Brand Management and Product Standards.
