We offer our members a platform to share information and advice on the coolest places. The spaces will be selected according to four essential criteria: architecture, design, music and ambience. The selection criteria will be revised regularlyby a group of independent consultants who will assess the potential of each establishment. In each city we will also rely on the colaboration of a local point manager, who will support the entire process of selecting, evaluating and setting up the establishments on thetwentypoints.com.

The Argan Oil Ritual – that nourishes, protects, regenerates and revitalises de the skin – as well as the Kobido Facial Massage aimed to increase facial beauty, making it tighter and softer by stretching and kneading the skin, based on Japanese massage techniques.

However, if what is really needed is to get rid of any electromagnetic contamination derived from the use of computers or mobile phones, the best option is the Diamonds of the Majestic Treatment: a combination of micronized iron, wild lavender and diamond dust that enhance positive energies.

The use of Natura Bissé products, – the prestigious Catalan cosmetic firm- is the final element to treat our customers, who will no doubt want to conclude any treatment with a massage like the Lomi-Juma Ritual, – a perfect blend of Eastern and Mediterranean techniques-, or the Especial Jet-Lag massage for anyone who wishes to relax after a long flight.

The Best City Boutique Hotel Award is an initiative of Boutique Hotel Awards in London. In an ever-shrinking world of globalized brands and international hotel chains, a truly individual experience is a rare find. However, there are a number of hidden gems around the world, which retain their individuality through their small size and keen sense of style and culture. The Boutique Hotel Awards look to provide such establishments with the acclaim and reward that they so dearly deserve, championing hotels that possess a unique character whilst still providing world-class services and facilities.

Since 2011 hotels are awarded in different categories: Best Beach Hotel, Best City Hotel, Best Classic Hotel, Best Design Hotel, Best Dining Hotel, Best Honeymoon Hotel, Best New Hotel and Best Spa Hotel. This year there were over 300 nominees from 35 countries.

The Toren Hotel is a hidden gem in the center of Amsterdam. The Toren is prominently placed amongst the grand 17th century canal houses of the Keizergracht. The design boutique hotel is not named after the near by Wester Church “Westertoren” but after its owners, Petra and Eric Toren. Together they manage The Toren with the philosophy that each guest should experience a luxury “at home” feeling. The Toren has 38 rooms, including the recently finished exclusive Executive Suites in the garden and two Special Deluxe rooms with Canal View. There is a lovely breakfast lounge, a smoking lounge and a stylish bar. Business guest can use the executive meeting room upon request.

Award winners were determined based on votes cast by the travel industry, including travel operators and independent travel consultants, who assessed service excellence. Hotel LKF by Rhombus is honoured to be recognized by its peers for our professionalism and service excellence, especially having been just awarded “Best Boutique Hotel” at the 23rd Annual TTG Asia Travel Awards 2012 earlier this month.

“Our belief is that service excellence is the most critical factor in a hotel’s measure as a luxury hotel and that winning a World Luxury Hotel Award based on this factor would enhance performance levels if industry peers can be judged against other major players in the field,” said Marinique de Wet, Director of the World Luxury Hotel Awards.

This award is gratifying as it is Rhombus International Hotels Group’s mission to provide the highest quality of service to guests and to exceed expectations. “Winning this award would have not been possible without the contribution of our team members at all levels, as we truly believe that the guest experience we delivered is what sets us apart,” said Mr. Calvin Mak, Founder & CEO of Rhombus International Hotels Group.
