LONDON, UK. – 7 February, 2012 – TripAdvisor®, (NASDAQ: TRIP), the world’s largest travel site*, today announces the winners of its 2012 Travellers’ Choice Romance awards, honouring the most romantic hotels in Europe and the world. Unlike any other hotel honours, TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice winners are based on millions of valuable reviews and opinions from travellers around the world.
The Greek island of Santorini performed extraordinarily well in the romance stakes, laying claim to Europe’s two most romantic hotels: the winner, Andronis Luxury Suites and runner-up, Aspaki & Oia Castle. Santorini also claimed the seventh place hotel, Anastasis Apartments, which was named the world’s second best hotel in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Hotel awards in January.
“With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Romance awards highlight the world’s and Europe’s best hotels for a romantic getaway according to those who really matter – travellers themselves,” commented Emma Shaw TripAdvisor spokesperson. “Santorini was revealed as a lovebird’s haven with both the winner and runner-up calling this gorgeous Greek island home, while France and Italy also revealed their romantic prowess with three properties each in the top ten.”
