July 19, 2004 - The Post Ranch Inn, a luxury eco-hotel in California,
has been named Hotel of the Year for 2004 by Small Luxury Hotels of the
World.
| The environmentally-sensitive 30-room
property overlooks the Pacific along the Big Sur coastline and strongly
supports measures to conserve resources whilst also helping to protect
threatened flora and fauna.
Strict SLH award criteria measure both the standards of quality achieved
by the hotel and its support for international marketing initiatives.
SLH global spokesman Brian Mills comments, 'Post Ranch Inn is recognized
consistently as one of the world's best hotels. It is also in the
forefront of the brand's growing identification with environmental and
social responsibility.'
