. April 21, 2016

MIAMI, FL. April 21, 2016 - On Thursday, April 7, the “who's who” of South Florida's luxury hotel industry celebrated the region's newly star-rated Forbes Travel Guide properties at a lavish cocktail reception hosted by Faena Hotel Miami Beach, a new property that is on track to join the ranks of star-rated hotels in 2017. The organization continues to expand within the region, which includes the Caribbean, Mexico and Latin America, adding 23 award-winning properties, seven of which were designated Five-Star, in 14 new destinations across each of the categories.

“We are delighted to recognize the 2016 star-rating recipients, a phenomenal group of hotels, restaurants and spas,” said Gerard J. Inzerillo, Chief Executive Officer of Forbes Travel Guide. “These properties set an unimpeachable standard of excellence in hospitality at a moment when the proliferation of voices claiming to provide unbiased ratings online is exploding. With Forbes Travel Guide-rated properties, there is no ambiguity, no doubt: based on a stringent set of standards developed and refined over six decades, our ratings are now accepted and embraced worldwide. We are proud to congratulate each of the owners, property managers and their teams, and everyone associated with the prestigious properties recognized today. Together, we help discerning consumers make better luxury travel decisions worldwide.”

A total of 84 hotels, spas and restaurants were added in the United States with six new winners in Florida. Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa earned Five-Stars for its hotel and spa. Trump National Doral, Miami along with Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, its restaurant Capa and The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort all won Four-Star honors.

“It gives me great pleasure to welcome these 23 new members from The Americas to the Forbes Travel Guide for 2016,” said Lourdes Hainlin, Forbes Travel Guide's Vice President, Client Services for Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America. “This prestigious designation is based on the highest, most discerning standards, and I congratulate them all for their achievement. Forbes Travel Guide is raising the bar on global hospitality, inspiring hoteliers and restaurateurs to elevate their standards of excellence, and because of that, we see great opportunity for continued growth within the region.”

In February, Forbes Travel Guide unveiled its annual compendium of worldwide star-rated recipients. Now in its 58th year, the hotly anticipated list includes 42 new Five-Star hotels, 101 new Four-Star hotels and 57 new hotels in the Recommended category. For the full list, click here.
