So, rumor has it that Casa de Campo is about to announce that it is a ‘Leading Hotel of the World,’ which is something we surely already knew? For Casa de Campo’s many aficionados, visitors and residents the news that Casa de Campo has gained this prestigious accolade will not come as much of a surprise –  we already knew it was one of the world’s best hotels!

Hotels cannot just proclaim themselves to be a ‘Leading Hotel of the World,’ – Leading Hotels of the World is actually an organization, founded in 1928, which accesses hotels with a thorough,rigorous and anonymous inspection, so that only hotels that reach their very exacting levels of quality and excellence may become members.

A quote taken from wikipedia.com, describing The Leading Hotels of the World organization:

The Leading Hotels of The World, Ltd. (LHW) is a hospitality organization representing more than 450 of the world’s finest hotels, resorts and spas, located in over 80 countries around the world. As one of the largest international luxury hotel brand, the firm maintains sales and marketing offices in 24 markets across the globe.

Whether or not Casa de Campo has become of member of ‘The Leading Hotels of The World’ has not yet been confirmed, but surely in a resort with such impressive facilities and service, the announcement must be coming soon…… And don’t forget Casa de Campo was a 4-time winner at the 2009 World Travel Awards in London, with Casa de Campo being recognised as THE World’s Leading Golf Resort!
