InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa #37 of World's Top 100 Hotels

The Travel + Leisure 2011 World's Best Awards have been published, and we are thrilled (okay, we're ecstatic) that InterContinental Bora Bora Resort and Thalasso Spa has been voted #37 of the Top 100 Hotels in the World. With a total score of 93.56, the resort comes in at #2 in the Australia/New Zealand/South Pacific Region.

Readers of Travel + Leisure were given an opportunity to vote for their favorite properties over a four-month period beginning in December, 2010. The short list of 100 hotels is culled from a selection of thousands worldwide and represents the hotels that offer, "...special access, noteworthy amenities, above-and-beyond service, and authenticity of place."

This coveted award comes on the heels of Thalasso's World's Best Service Award from Travel + Leisure in June. Readers gave the resort an impressive score of 93.33 this year; we were also honored with a Best Service award in 2010 with a score of 90.63.
