World Luxury Awards 2023

marketing deluxe has scaled the peak of success! During the 17th World Luxury Awards 2023 at the Grand Hyatt in Athens, the international public relations agency won 12 World Luxury Awards PLUS Restaurant of the Year 2023. Instead of Greek wine, tears of joy flowed in Athens on Saturday 28 October 2023.

The World Luxury Awards are considered the Oscars of the travel industry! For the past 17 years, luxury hotels, spas and restaurants have received international recognition following a vote by guests, travellers and industry players. More than 3,200 hotels, spas, restaurants and specialists in the tourism industry from all over the globe were nominated before being judged on their unique experiences, exceptional offers, best concepts and, above all, outstanding service. The process begins with an application within three categories that best represent their unique selling points. The World Luxury Commission then selects nominees based on official guest reviews. During a subsequent four-week public voting phase, international travellers, guests and industry representatives from around the world vote for the winners. The awards are presented at global, continental, regional and national level.

Excellence in gastronomy shone particularly brightly this year: the fine dining restaurant Le Pavillon, which has been recognised by Michelin for 25 years and is run by owner Meinrad Schmiederer’s brother-in-law Martin Herrmann, was named Overall Winner as Global Restaurant of the Year 2023, the highest accolade in the World Luxury Restaurant Awards. Joy was written all over the face of the Dollenberg’s owner, himself a trained chef: ‘I’m ecstatic and couldn’t be prouder of my family and our outstanding team who do such a great job day in and day out,’ Schmiederer said after the official award ceremony. ‘My heartfelt thanks go to our employees and, of course, our guests, who ultimately made these awards possible with their votes. We’re delighted that we were able to impress and inspire them with our performance time and time again.’
