Hotel Andaluz Named One of the Top Boutique Hotels

Sept. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- For the second consecutive year,
the Boutique & Lifestyle Lodging Association (BLLA) has acknowledged Hotel
Andaluz’ for its one-of-a-kind luxury hotel. This year, Hotel Andaluz was runner-up
for Boutique Hotel of the Year. The hotel was chosen for its excellence in six
important categories: Design & Architecture, Sustainability, Food & Beverage,
Customer Service, Marketing & Sales and Operational Performance.

“I’m thrilled to receive this acknowledgment from BLLA,” said Gary Goodman,
owner of Hotel Andaluz. “Hotel Andaluz is truly a unique hotel, blending its storied
history with cutting edge technologies that allow us to offer guests the very best
hotel experience.”

Famed hotelier Conrad Hilton built Hotel Andaluz in 1939. In 2009, it was
purchased and renovated by Goodman who maintained the history of the hotel
while also incorporating new technologies to make the property a leader in
environment responsibility. Celebrating its second anniversary this October, the
107-room hotel is no stranger to accolades. It’s the only Gold LEED Certified hotel
in the Southwest and an AAA Four Diamond hotel. Last year it was
acknowledged as BLLA’s Lifestyle Hotel of the Year.
