‘Deeply rewarding’: CEO Simon Naudi on Corinthia’s global recognition at Condé Nast Traveler Awards 2025

“It is deeply rewarding to see the dedication behind building Corinthia into a globally respected luxury hotel brand being recognised,” said Corinthia CEO Simon Naudi.

His comments come as three of Corinthia’s flagship luxury hotels achieved top placements at the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.

• Corinthia London ranked third among all London hotels, praised for its timeless elegance, exceptional service, and world-class ESPA Life spa.
• Corinthia Brussels, the magnificently restored Grand Hotel Astoria which opened only last year, was named second in Europe and featured in the Readers’ Choice Hot List 2025.
• Corinthia Lisbon continued to uphold the brand’s excellence, securing the sixth position in Europe.

“We have invested significantly in both our people and our properties, and we will continue to do so as we expand into new and prestigious destinations,” Mr Naudi added.

Now in its 37th year, the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards is widely regarded as the gold standard of global travel accolades.

Each year, over half a million readers worldwide cast their votes for their favourite hotels, destinations, and experiences.

In addition to these distinctions, Corinthia has also received several major awards throughout 2025, including:

• Michelin Keys Awards – Corinthia London, Corinthia Bucharest, Corinthia Brussels, and The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel, in New York  (October 2025)
• Condé Nast Traveller Hot List (US & UK) – Corinthia Brussels, The Surrey, a Corinthia Hotel, and Corinthia London (June 2025)

Corinthia will soon be opening a landmark hotel in Rome, and has announced  plans to operate a 102-storey hotel and residential project in the heart of Dubai, while its recently-formed partnership with Action Real Estate Company of Kuwait has acquired two boutique hotel properties totalling 100 keys in a prime location in Beverly Hills, California.
