Rocco Forte's Villa Kennedy Voted Top Business Hotel in Europe
The September 2006 issue of CNBC European Business magazine has named Rocco Forte's Villa Kennedy the number one business hotel in Europe. The hotel, which opened earlier this year on 1 March, has raised the benchmark for hotels not only in Frankfurt, but Europe as a whole.
Villa Kennedy beat the George V in Paris, The Lanesborough in London and the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, as well as last year's winner Hotel Adlon in Berlin, to take the top prize.
Describing Villa Kennedy, CNBCEB wrote "From every angle, this hotel surpasses one's expectations. Separating a great hotel from a merely good one are character and details. All Villa Kennedy's rooms have unusually high levels of natural daylight, for instance, and the discreet provision of a dedicated workstation in every room does away with the need for a business centre. Such wi-fi wonderment lifts the standard for this sort of hotel to a new height".
Despite having been open for less than six months, Villa Kennedy has already won two other awards. The architectural design of Villa Kennedy claimed the prestigious Hotel & Tourism award at the MIPIM trade show in Cannes in March and in May the hotel was voted Best Business Hotel in Frankfurt by EURO magazine.
CNBCEB's award is a testament to The Rocco Forte Collection' dedication to providing world-class service and facilities for the modern business traveller. For not only did Villa Kennedy come top of CNBCEB's survey, but another four The Rocco Forte Collection were named in the top 20 European Business Hotels. They are Le Richemond in Geneva, Brown's Hotel in London, Hotel Amigo in Brussels and The Balmoral in Edinburgh.
