Broadmoor's Penrose Room restaurant and The Spa at The Broadmoor also receive Five Stars in a 2010 awards sweep
Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Awards (formerly Mobil Five-Star Award by Mobil Travel Guide) announced the 2010 list of Five Star winners and honored The Broadmoor for a record 50th consecutive year. The Broadmoor is the only property to ever achieve this status. Additionally, the resort has the distinction in 2010 of becoming a triple Five Star winner with the addition of both Penrose Room restaurant and The Spa at Broadmoor.
"The Five Star designation for The Broadmoor for an unprecedented 50 consecutive years is a phenomenal achievement by our staff and those staff members that preceded them," says Stephen Bartolin, Jr., President and CEO of The Broadmoor. "What an honor it is to work with a group of people that can realize this record of success. I have been here 18 of those years and not a day goes by that our staff doesn't amaze me in some way. I am so immensely proud of them. Having our Penrose Room restaurant and our Spa also receiving a Five Star rating absolutely knocks it out of the park."
Mobil Travel Guide, the originators of the star rating system and providers of one of the most comprehensive evaluation systems of hotels, restaurants and spas in the world has become the Forbes Travel Guide Awards as part of a licensing agreement. Since 1958, the Mobil Travel Guide's ratings process has been based on more than 750 standardized criteria, making it the most rigorous and comprehensive in the industry.
"I would like to offer our thanks for this recognition to the Five Star Award staff and also congratulate them on their affiliation with Forbes. I have the highest regard for the Forbes publications and I know that they will only enhance the significance of our industry's longest-standing rating system," continues Mr. Bartolin.
