Press release | Worlds Travel Award 2021

The AMANO Group is pleased to have been awarded the World Travel Award™ as Germany's Leading Boutique Hotel again this year. The group has last received the award back in 2020. Despite of the ongoing crisis that the industry is currently facing, this year's programme of the already 28th-year-old annual awards, has seen more votes than in the previous month and more search requests than ever before.

Berlin, 22.10.2021. Due to the current circumstances, Worlds Travel Award™ is foregoing a big celebration this year on the occasion of this year's awards. The AMANO Group found out about the award as 'Germany's Leading Boutique Hotel 2021' via email and is delighted about this recognition for its Hotel AMANO in Auguststraße in Berlin Mitte. The World Travel Awards™ were established in 1993 to recognise, reward and celebrate excellence in all major sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industry. Today, the World Travel Awards™ brand is recognised worldwide as the ultimate seal of excellence in the industry. Despite ongoing global challenges, wanderlust has reached unprecedented levels. This is evidenced by the annual World Travel Awards™ voting figures, noting more participants than ever before in its 28-year history. According to the WTA, this can be interpreted as a vote of confidence in the travel and tourism industry.
Hotel AMANO, the AMANO Group's first hotel, opened in 2009 as a flagship property in Berlin-Mitte. 164 rooms, three full-service suite variantoptions, warm earth tones, gold, dark wood and velvet. It has shaped the AMANO Group with everything it stands for today: love for design, aesthetics and service - exemplified by the management and passionately implemented by a dedicated team. Innovative ideas such as the Rooftop Bar have set a new standard in the urban hotel landscape.

The AMANO Group currently owns ten hotels, eight hotels in Berlin, one in Düsseldorf and one in Munich. The hotel projects in Leipzig and London are under construction, and three more hotels in Hamburg and Munich are in the planning stage. In total, the AMANO Group employs approximately 250 people. Despite all the differences in detail, the hotels of the group follow a standard concept: the guest gets a first-class, urban living experience at a fair price. All hotels are centrally located in attractive neighbourhoods. In all the hotels, guests can expect furnishings and fittings that by far exceed high standards: high-quality materials, tasteful, modern interior design and a high level of living comfort. With trend-setting gastronomy concepts such as restaurants, bars, a club and several rooftop terraces, the AMANO Group manages to create a lively exchange between the city and the hotel.
