VENTANA Hotel Prague WINS BEST LUXURY IN THE
2009 TRIPADVISOR TRAVELERS’ CHOICE AWARDS

Prague, Czech Republic, February, 2009 - VENTANA Hotel Prague was chosen as a Best LUXURY Hotel by TripAdvisor® in its 2009 Travelers’ Choice® awards. Now in its seventh year, the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice awards honor the world’s best hotels, earning their distinction from those who know them best – real travelers.

Unlike any other hotel awards programs in the world, TripAdvisor® Travelers' Choice® winners are based on the millions of real and unbiased reviews and opinions about hotels on tripadvisor.com™ and content from across the web.

“TripAdvisor travelers always appreciate great values, and 2009 is certainly no exception. The 2009 Travelers’ Choice awards highlight more bargain properties than ever before with 190, nearly five times as many as last year,” said Michele Perry, vice president of global communications for TripAdvisor. “Millions of real travelers worldwide have helped identify these outstanding hotels, recognized for their exceptional accommodations, service, and value.”
