Fodor’s,
the leading name in travel guides
for over 75 years, today announced that Kimpton’s top-rated Miami
flagship hotel, EPIC Hotel, has been recognized as a 2012 Fodor’s
Choice selection.
This
notable distinction designates the hotel
as a
leader in its category for service, quality and value in 2012.“EPIC
continues to stand apart from other hotels in downtown Miami because
of its unmatched personalized service and ability to put guests at
the center of
it all, in every possible way,” said Eric Jellson, Area Director of
Sales and Marketing for Kimpton and EPIC. “Our
waterfront location on
the Miami River overlooking Biscayne Bay along with our private
marina, 16,000 sq. ft. pool
deck,
exhale spa and two critically acclaimed restaurants are collectively
the point of difference. Where we really make our mark is on the
service side as we always strive to set a sense of place and welcome
from the moment our guests arrive. Our service style is to be
unscripted and always caring, with a true passion for delivering
personalized attention.”
The
editors and experts of Fodor’s have been selecting only the top
fifteen percent of their listed properties and activities as Fodor’s
Choice award recipients since 1988. Every year, Fodor’s writers
experience, examine and evaluate thousands of hotels, restaurants and
attractions in their travels across
the globe. While every business included in a Fodor’s guide is
deemed worthy of a traveler’s time, only those offering a truly
remarkable experience are given the Fodor’s Choice designation. The
2012 Fodor’s Choice recipients are considered the best of the best,
providing a remarkable experience in their price range or category.
Kimpton’s EPIC Hotel will receive special recognition in the next
Fodor’s guidebook and on www.Fodors.com.
This
honor is on the heels of EPIC’s 2012 recognition in Condé Nast
