PUNE, INDIA--(Marketwired - May 30, 2013) - Word of mouth can be powerfully persuasive, especially when it comes to travel. That's why TripAdvisor's highly sought Certificate of Excellence awarded this year to the Courtyard Pune Hinjewadi is such a meaningful accolade. Travellers personally rate their hospitality experiences on TripAdvisor's website, and only the top-performing 10 percent of businesses receive the award.

At the four-star Courtyard Pune Hinjewadi, anticipating guests' needs is an art form. Not only are the light-infused rooms comfortable and contemporary, the hotel itself is conveniently located 45 minutes from the airport, directly off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and in the center of the Pune IT hub. First among Pune's luxury hotels and boasting easy highway access, this property has simplified the nuts and bolts of travel.

In addition to its enviable location, the Courtyard Pune Hinjewadi offers thoughtful touches like complimentary valet service, 24-hour room service and high-speed Internet access. On property, there are also six meeting rooms with 9,440 square feet of total meeting space, four different restaurants, and a health club with an onsite yoga instructor and fitness trainer.

All this has led to rave reviews on TripAdvisor. In order to receive a Certificate of Excellence, a business must maintain an overall rating of four or higher (out of a possible five) and be listed on TripAdvisor's website for at least 12 months. (Businesses can be located anywhere in the world and can operate in any facet of the hospitality industry.) The number of reviews a business receives is also taken into account.

"Courtyard Pune Hinjewadi is pleased to receive this award," said General Manager Manish Tolani. "We take our guests' needs to heart, and we look forward to continuing our exceptional level of service in the future."
