Orbitz.com Customers Name Favorite Hotels for 2014

Travelers Get $50 Off Vacation Packages to All "Best In Stay" Award-Winning Hotels


CHICAGO, Oct. 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orbitz.com today announced the winners of the 2014 Best In Stay Awards, which honor nearly 400 top-rated hotels in 75 popular destinations based on reviews by Orbitz customers. There are up to five Best In Stay winners in each destination, and hotels with the highest customer rating in each destination are given special distinction as a Best In Stay Elite hotel. In addition to the destination winners, Best in Stay and Best in Stay Elite winners were also selected in six categories: Value, Luxury, Family, LGBT, Ski and All-Inclusive.

Orbitz Best In Stay Award winners are selected based on the overall numeric score of verified hotel reviews submitted by Orbitz customers that have booked and stayed at hotels over the past year. Customers are asked to rate a variety of hotel attributes on a scale of 1 to 5, including amenities, maintenance, hotel staff, room comfort, location, and value. Those ratings are supplemented by input from nearly 150 Orbitz hotel experts who factor in other market conditions, such as the number of reviews, frequency of booking and reputation of hotel staff.

"With customers booking hotels on Orbitz.com and our other sites in record numbers, we expanded the Best In Stay Awards to recognize even more best-in-class hotels as rated by customers," said Peggy Bianco, group vice president of global hotel supplier services for Orbitz.com. "In the age of mobile and social media, customers use our nearly 2 million hotel reviews to make real-time decisions about their trips based on advice from other customers. Orbitz is proud to honor these highly rated Best In Stay properties that provide exemplary service and make our customers' hotel stays memorable."

From now until October 31, travelers will receive $50 off a vacation package that includes a flight and hotel stay of three or more nights at any of these top-of-the-line havens using promotion code BESTINSTAY50.1
