Trivago, a leading global hotel metasearch, announced the winners of its annual Trivago Awards to recognize and reward this year’s top-rated and top-performing properties on the search platform.
These awards are the highest endorsement Trivago gives to hotels, in recognition of their achievements in customer service and metasearch marketing throughout the year. Johannes Thomas, Trivago N.V. Managing Director, and Chief Revenue Officer had this to say about this year’s award list:
“As a leading global hotel metasearch with data on millions of aggregated guest ratings, we are well positioned to identify the top-rated hotels that are delivering exceptional guest experiences.”
