Kirkland, Wash. (October 2009)
The Woodmark Hotel, Yacht Club & Spa (www.thewoodmark.com), the only hotel on the shores of Lake Washington, announces the distinctive honor of being recognized by Condé Nast Traveler readers in their annual “Best in the World” edition as a top resort in the nation. Debuting in the November 2009 issue, the 22nd annual Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards list reveals that The Woodmark is named as one of the “Top 75 Mainland U.S. Resorts” and is the only hotel in Washington state to be included in this category. The Kirkland waterfront property ranks number 62.
“We are thrilled to be recognized among the top destinations in the world on this prestigious list,” said Brian Flaherty, general manager of the Woodmark. “This distinguished honor is a true testament to the hard work of our extraordinary employees. Their dedication and talent combined with our distinctive, iconic, lakeside location has helped us to exceed the expectations of our guests for more than 20 years.”
The awards are derived from the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Survey, the largest independent poll of consumers’ preferences. More than 25,000 readers voted this year on 10,000 properties and destinations. Award winners are given a comprehensive rating based on the following criteria: rooms, service, food, location and design.
20 years young, The Woodmark Hotel, Yacht Club & Spa is the only hotel on the picturesque shores of Lake Washington. Personal and comfortable, the Woodmark features 100 rooms, including 21 suites, most with views of the lake, and all with luxury amenities. The Woodmark is the ideal in-town retreat only minutes from downtown Bellevue and other Eastside destinations. It offers a full-service Spa, two exceptional waterfront restaurants, bin on the lake and Beach Cafe, distinctive event spaces and an intimate, residential, waterside ambiance. Most importantly, Woodmark people are warm and genuine, anticipating guests’ every need. Popular for corporate events, weddings and important family occasions, the Woodmark is ultimately a place where everyone feels at home. www.thewoodmark.com
