Regal Airport Hotel has achieved two awards in the 2009 Business Traveller Asia-Pacific Awards and Business Traveller 2009 Awards respectively. Not only has the hotel won the Best Airport Hotel in Asia-Pacific for nine consecutive years, it has also received the prestigious honour of the Best Airport Hotel in the World for two consecutive years, organised by the Business Traveller Asia-Pacific and UK Magazines.

Business Traveller Magazines honour the best business travellers in the world. Conducted among the magazine’s worldwide readership of the most knowledgeable, experienced and fastidious travellers, the awards are highly valued throughout the travel industry around the world.

Between April and May of this year, Business Traveller UK dispatched 20,000 polling forms to magazine subscribers, while Business Traveller Asia-Pacific sent out 15,000 polling forms from April to June, inviting frequent travellers to vote for their favourite performers in travel and hospitality.

Mr Richard Hodges, the General Manager of Regal Airport Hotel, stated “We are delighted and honoured to have won these two awards again this year. Receiving the titles of the Best Airport Hotel in the World and in Asia-Pacific are the major achievements and endorsements for us. As the only meeting and conference centre hotel directly connected to the Hong Kong International Airport and located at the region’s primary transportation hub, providing impeccable service and a comfortable environment for business travellers with high expectations remains our mission.

Our team of professional and friendly staff strives to provide the most attentive service to our guests and these awards are the recognition of their efforts. I would like to express my gratitude to all of our staff for their individual and collective contributions in helping us to reach this milestone.”

As receiving the most honourable title of the Best in the World again, Regal Airport Hotel will continue to improve every business traveller’s stay and will go that extra mile to deliver the most exceptional customer service to maintain the worldwide status.
