Condé Nast Traveler today announced the results of its 29th annual Readers' Choice Awards with Hilton Sydney recognised as one of the top ten hotels in Australia and South pacific, with a score of 89.18.

“We are very excited to be receiving this prestigious accolade, which is testimony to our excellent service and the quality of our offering. Awards given by readers are especially valuable to me and the entire team as they come directly from the guests who experience our services,” says Ronald van Weezel, General Manager Hilton Sydney.

Over 300,000 dedicated readers – nearly twice as many as last year -- cast votes for 7,394 hotels, 606 cities, 500 cruise ships, and 236 islands, in an average survey time of 8.4 minutes. The result? The 1,402 best travel experiences in the world.

Across Hilton's global portfolio 26 hotels, including four APAC properties have been awarded places on Condé Nast Traveler's Reader's Choice Awards list this year. The APAC properties winning spots as top hotels or resorts in their respective sub-regions are: Hilton Sydney, Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, and Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort and Spa.

The Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry and are commonly known as “the best of the best of travel.” Under Editor in Chief Pilar Guzmán, the Readers' Choice Awards have become more selective and specific to the passions that inspire today's travelers.

The Readers' Choice Awards are announced in the November issue of Condé Nast Traveler, on newsstands nationwide on October 25, 2016. The full list is published exclusively online, at www.CNTraveler.com/rca.
