TRAVEL + LEISURE NAMES ALDERBROOK RESORT & SPA AS ONE OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST RESORTS

Union, Wash. (May 22, 2006)
Alderbrook Resort & Spa, the luxury resort located on the scenic shores of Hood Canal, received several honors in the Travel + Leisure guidebook “The Best of 2006: The World’s Greatest Hotels, Resorts, and Spas.” Travel + Leisure’s travel guide book is an up-to-date guide of more than 500 of the world’s best hotels, resorts and spas as chosen by editors and readers.

“Washington state is so unspoiled and beautiful, and if you are into kayaking or hiking; fishing or crabbing, Alderbook is the place to go,” said Nilou Motamed, senior travel editor of Travel + Leisure during an interview on the CBS “Early Show”. “What’s great about this property is not only do you get to be very close to the outdoors, but you don’t have to be roughing it, because Alderbrook is super luxurious.”

Alderbrook was one of three Northwest luxury properties featured with color photography as an “Editor’s Pick” in the United States and Canada region, in addition to being named on the “Top 100 Hotels and Resorts in the United States and Canada.”

“We are thrilled that Alderbrook was personally selected by the editors and readers of Travel + Leisure from all the premier international hotels, resorts and spas,” said Jim Treadway, CEO of MTM Luxury Lodging. “This honor confirms our commitment in celebrating Hood Canal’s natural Pacific Northwest beauty and providing guests the ultimate experience in luxury and comfort.”

Additional Travel + Leisure lists include, “Top 25 Hotels and Resorts in Hawaii,” “Top 25 Hotels and Resorts in Mexico, Central and South America”, “Top 25 Hotels and Resorts in Europe”, “Top 25 Hotels and Resorts in Africa and Middle East”, “Top 25 Hotels and Resorts in Asia”, and “To 25 Hotels and Resorts in Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific.”
