The Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing has achieved a four-star rating in Mobil Travel Guide’s first-ever guide to an international destination.

This is the highest category awarded in the city.

A Mobil four-star rating ‘signifies that the hotel is one of the finest establishments in the world, offering guests a truly exceptional level of luxury and service.’

China World Hotel, awarded three-and-a-half stars, ‘…brings old-school Chinese glamour to a modern setting….’

Of Shangri-La’s Kerry Centre Hotel (three stars), the guide says, ‘With its prime location in the Chaoyang district, this hotel is a great choice for business travelers.’

Of Traders Hotel, Beijing (two stars), it noted: ‘Shangri-La manages this business-targeted hotel, so service is attentive and efficient.’

One gets cynical about travel awards because there are so many of the damn things. It the then travel editor of the Sydney Morning Herald could garner three awards — and he did and it was me — then it is pretty much open season.

However the inaugural TTG China Travel Awards have just been held and 39 best performing travel trade organizations operating within China were honored. There were 400 people at the event which means one award for every ten attendees which seems a fairly normal proportion.

This year’s awards covers 6 categories, with 39 awards in total. All readers of TTG China, TTG-BTmice China, TTG Asia and TTGmice were invited to vote for their favorite travel and tourism organizations. More then 12,600 TTG readers across the Asia Pacific participated in the voting exercise.
1. Best China Airline Overall — Air China
2. Best International Airline Serving China — Singapore Airlines
3. Best Business Class Airline in China — China Southern Airlines
4. Best Global Hotel Chain Operating in Greater China — InterContinental Hotels Group
5. Best Local Hotel Chain Operating in Greater China — Gloria International Hotels
6. Best Luxury Hotel Brand in Greater China — Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts
7. Best Mid-range Hotel Brand in Greater — China Novotel
8. Best Luxury Hotel in Beijing — Raffles Beijing Hotel China
9. Best Luxury Hotel in Shanghai — The Westin Bund Center Shanghai
10. Best Luxury Hotel in Guangdong — InterContinental Shenzhen

And it went on from there. If it gets down to awarding a prize for the best MICE city in China — it was Shanghai — it is time to draw a line. Our illustration shows the statue. Decorously fuzzed around the important parts.
