London - Arab Today
The winners of the 2014 Prix Villégiature Awards, which honor the world's best hotels in 20 different categories, were recently announced in Paris. French hotels dominated the competition this year, claiming the awards in 12 out of 17 eligible categories, although the grand prize for best hotel in Europe went to a Russian property.
The Buddha Bar in Paris was honored for its bar as well as for its bathrooms (among hotels with less than 80 rooms). Also a winner in two categories, the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc in Antibes, which celebrates its centenary this year, earned the grand prize for best resort in Europe and the award for "best hotel ambiance."
The Lotte Hotel in Moscow received the grand prize for best hotel in Europe in addition to the award for best hotel restaurant on the continent. In the Middle East, the grand prize for best hotel went to the Jumeirah at Etihad Towers.
