Four Greek hotels were among the winners at the annual TUI Global Hotel Awards ceremony that took place in Berlin on Monday, March 4, on the eve of the ITB Berlin 2024 tourism exhibition.

“The TUI Global Hotel Awards are our way of expressing gratitude for our valued hotel partners and their commitment to delivering outstanding experiences for our customers,” said TUI Group CEO Sebastian Ebel.

Within 12 categories, selected from a pool of over 13,000 hotels across 180 destinations, 16 hotels were recognized as being “the best of the best”, according to reviews from TUI’s more than 19 million guests in 2023, honoring the hotels for their exceptional service and quality.

“The hotels we offer play a crucial role in creating memorable holidays for our customers. It is our privilege to recognize and reward the hotels that consistently receive glowing reviews from our guests,” Ebel said, thanking TUI’s hotel partners for “leading the way”.

“Congratulations on being among the very best hotels in the world,” he said
