Mokara Hotel & Spa, San Antonio’s only Forbes four-star hotel and spa, is celebrating the start of the new year with high honors from Condé Nast Traveler, one of the nation’s leading consumer travel magazines. The Omni property, located along San Antonio’s famed River Walk, is featured in the publication’s “Gold List” for 2013. In addition, Mokara Hotel & Spa is named as a member of the Platinum Circle, a distinction reserved for properties that have made the list for five or more consecutive years.
The Gold List is an annual collection of the best hotels, resorts and cruise lines from around the world. Nearly 47,000 discerning readers made the selections as part of the magazine’s annual Readers’ Choice survey. Mokara Hotel & Spa was one of 195 properties in the United States to make the list – only seven are based in Texas, with two (including Mokara) hailing from San Antonio. Additionally, Mokara was one of 181 in the world to be included in the Platinum Circle.
“These accolades put an exclamation point on what has been another great year for our hotel, and we are once again honored to be recognized by the readers of this prestigious publication,” said Rusty Wallace, general manager of Mokara Hotel & Spa. “This would simply not be possible without the continued support of our loyal guests, as well as the efforts of our remarkable associates who dedicate their time to delivering consistent service and memorable experiences to each and every guest.”
Mokara Hotel & Spa received an overall score of 92.9, which took into account a variety of factors including rooms, service, food, location and design. A full list of winners will be featured in the January 2013 issue of Condé Nast Traveler and can be found currently on the magazine’s website.
