Sexy, Inc. announces "2004-2005 World's 100 Sexiest Hotels List"
April 27, 2005 - Los
Angeles, California - What is sexy? When it comes to hotels and resorts,
Sexy, Inc. has the answer.
After reviewing over a thousand properties
across the globe, Sexy, Inc. has published the first ever listing of the World's
Sexiest Hotels.
Marc Holland, founder of Sexy, Inc.
says, "Over 1000 properties were evaluated and winners were chosen according
to style, architecture, ambiance, service, mood, and emotion." Holland
added, "Defining 'sexy' was the fun part of the job. Sexy has nothing
to do with price, size, or reputation, but rather how all those elements come
together to create a sensual experience that evokes a feeling of true transcendence
for the guest."
Holland goes on to say, "We found
that hotels and resorts are either sexy or they're not. It's not something
you can fake. Sexy could be a desert mega-resort, a sleek New York City business
hotel, a cliffside retreat in Positano, or plantation cottages in the Caribbean."
World's
100 Sexiest Hotels is a luxury travel-ranking co-venture between Sexy, Inc.,
Sky Radio Network, and SkyAuction.com, a leading online travel auction company.
According
to SkyAuction.com's CEO, Michael Herring, "As far as I know, this is
the first time hotels have been ranked on the basis of their sexiness. There are thousands of hotels throughout
the world and I believe that these one hundred finalists represent the worldís
best and sexiest."
Sky Radio's "Travel Ala Mode"
research and production staff was integral in helping review and nominate
the sexiest hotel properties. According
to EVP Elizabeth Montgomery, "Over the next six months, we'll be featuring
the World's Sexiest Hotels on our audio and video network on American, United,
Northwest, US Airways, America West, and Aloha Airlines and introducing these
unique properties to the 162 million passengers who fly our network of carriers."
Holland
says, "The winners that we've spoken to are all thrilled with being selected
for the list. They are used to winning awards, but the "sexiest"
award seems to be something they are unusually proud of."
Anna
Wood of the Clarence is one of them, saying, "We were delighted to hear
we were voted as one of 'The Sexiest Hotels.' As Dublinís only five-star boutique
hotel, as well as being owned by Bono & The Edge of U2, we really did
appreciate this accolade. It just seemed very us."
Robert
Forsyth, Executive Chairman, Recreation Africa Hotels and Resorts agrees,
"Being rated so highly is a great feather in our cap and an honor for
us" and Linda Waltz of the Fairmont Kansas City says,
"We are the ultimate urban escape for our guests and are happy
to have been named one of the Worldís Sexiest Hotels."
