Corinthia International scoops award

Corinthia Hotels International has been voted 'Best Hotel Group in the Mediterranean' by UK and Irish travel agents taking part in the 2002 Selling Short Breaks Travel Industry Awards.

The awards were announced this month by popular UK Travel Trade publication 'Selling Short Breaks'.

Corinthia Hotels International is fast emerging as a leading brand of four- and five-star city and resort hotels, with upmarket properties in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Libya, Malta, Portugal, Russia, The Gambia, Togo, Tunisia and Turkey.

The group recently acquired the Corinthia Nevskij Palace Hotel in St Petersburg, Russia, and the former Diamant Antwerpen Hotel in Belgium, now renamed Corinthia Antwerp Hotel.

In December, the group will be celebrating the re-birth of the legendary Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal in the heart of Budapest, Hungary, and the opening of the brand new Corinthia Towers Hotel, Tripoli, which will dominate the skyline in the Libyan capital.

Both superior five-star properties will offer extensive conference and leisure facilities.
