The Leading Hotels of the World is the prestigious sales and marketing organisation representing 315 of the world's finest luxury hotels.
Each year, The Leading Hotels of the World publishes a Directory of its member hotels, which is only one of the company's marketing endeavours. Additional services provided by the organisation include extensive sales and promotional activities, advertising and public relations support, and an array of special programs for member hotels and their guests.
Mr Jean-Jacques Gauer, General Manager of the Lausanne Palace & Spa, in Lausanne, Switzerland, is the chairman of Hotel Representative, A.G., the parent company of The Leading Hotels of the World.
The company was established in 1928 by a group of influential and forward thinking European hoteliers.
Requirements for becoming a member of The Leading Hotels of the World stipulate that a hotel must meet exacting standards of excellence in all areas affecting guest comfort, convenience and well being. The organisation does not solicit new members: hotels must apply for inclusion. Upon successful completion of a rigorous application and inspection process, only the most eminent hotels are accepted for admission. Each member hotel is periodically reinspected to ensure strict adherence to the company's quality standards.
