Mr Steve Hankinson - Director, Customer Care and Security,
Vancouver Airport accepts the Award for Fairmont Vancouver |
The World's Best Airport Hotels category recognises the best airport hotels across the globe. This is a popular customer survey, with over 860,000 travellers participating. Hotel guests were asked to nominate their favourite airport hotel based on wide ranging criteria - including comfort and cleanliness of
rooms, standard of food and beverage outlets and hotel staff service Quality. The location and ease of transfer between terminal and hotel proved an important item of customer satisfaction.
"The Fairmont drew a wide level of support across many nationalities in securing this award" said Edward Plaisted of Skytrax. "Location is clearly a major attraction of the Fairmont,
but underlying their success were some very high guest ratings for the comfort and ambiance of the facilities, combined with excellent levels of staff hospitality".
"We are honoured to accept such an esteemed award," said Craig Reaume, general manager of the
award-winning Fairmont Vancouver Airport hotel. "This speaks volumes about the levels of
service and guest experience we provide. We offer an unrivalled location within the airport
for both leisure and business travellers, along with authentically local British Columbia
experiences in Globe@YVR restaurant, Jetside Bar, our meetings and amenities."
