(1888PressRelease) November 21, 2013 - The 2014 World's Best Hotels & Resorts Awards put on by Five Star Alliance today announced that Trout Point Lodge has been selected for both its "Top 50 World's Best Hotels" and "World's Best Hotel Restaurant" categories. The World's Best Luxury Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Awards is an annual event since 2005.

A team of luxury hotel experts selects finalists for the Awards from among more than 4400 luxury hotels worldwide. Washington, DC, based Five Star Alliance is the leading comprehensive online directory of luxury five star hotels. Five Star created the World's Best 2014 to showcase properties that represent the best in unique experiences, class, guest feedback, and reputation. The Alliance first accepted Trout Point as a member property in 2007, but it has never previously won an award.

The World's Best Hotel Restaurants Award goes only to properties where "world-class restaurant is the proximity of fine-dining to luxury guestrooms," according to the Alliance. "The World's Best Hotel and Resort Restaurant means grand hotel dining within a luxury property. Michelin stars and top-starred Forbes Guide restaurants abound on our list of the top luxury hotel and resort restaurants."

"We're honoured by the selection and greatly appreciate the restaurant award," said co-owner and chef Vaughan Perret. "Everyone at the Lodge works extremely hard to provide guests with a truly exceptional dining experience, but given our wilderness location and size, we often don't get noticed in the worldwide restaurant ratings." Other Restaurant Award recipients include the renowned Inn at Little Washington in Virginia, the Dorchester in London, England, and the Michelin-starred AbaC Hotel & Restaurant in Barcelona, Spain. Earlier this month, Fox News named Trout Point Lodge among the world's top 10 hotel culinary schools.

The Lodge also appears on the Five Star list of Top 50 World's Best Hotels. Properties in this group "reflect the full array of exclusive options from the classic and iconic favorites to intimate and inviting inns to sprawling oceanfront resorts." The 50 properties were selected using an algorithm based on the Alliance's web site page views, bookings, feedback, and 3rd party sources, according to Five Star's Courtney May.

The Lodge was joined on the list by acclaimed luxury hotels such as the Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford, California, The Carlyle in New York City, and Hotel Danieli in Venice, Italy. Only three Canadian hotels were on the list, including Le Saint-Sulpice in Montreal, the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, and Trout Point.
