WAILEA, Hawaii, Oct. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Condé Nast Traveler today announced the results of the 2017 Reader's Choice Awards, ranking Hotel Wailea as the #1 Top Hotel in Hawaii. Hotel Wailea is Hawaii's first and only member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux hotel organization.

"To be voted the #1 Hawaii Hotel by Condé Nast, the luxury travel industry's most respected publication, is a great honor. We believe our ultra-private, behind the gates, ocean view setting coupled with only 72 one bedroom suites is a size and scale which is a very rare find in Hawaii," said Hotel Wailea owner Jonathan McManus. "Our guests appreciate our staff is our brand, as well large open space and privacy is a feeling of luxury today."

In the poll, over 300,000 readers submitted their ratings and comments, sharing their recent travel experiences of the world's cities, islands, hotels, resorts, cruise lines, airlines and airports. 

Designed exclusively for couples, Hotel Wailea boasts an unprecedented level of intimacy, privacy and exclusivity in Hawaii. Personalized guest programming is tailored to couples and centered on authentic island experiences that embody the spirit of Maui and laid-back luxury.

ABOUT RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX
Established over half a century ago, Relais & Châteaux is an association of the world's finest hoteliers, chefs and restaurateurs that has set the standard for excellence in hospitality. Relais & Châteaux has redefined luxury hospitality by emphasizing holistic experiences that transport its guests, taking them on a sensual journey and introducing them to a deeper, truer understanding of the Art of Living.

The story of Relais & Châteaux begins in 1941 when two former music hall entertainers, Marcel and Nelly Tilloy purchased "La Cardinale", an estate in the Rhône Valley. In 1952 the Tilloys began recruiting other hoteliers and restaurant owners that shared the same level of quality and excellence and passions for fine cuisine and Art de Vivre. In 1954, this group of kindred spirits merged together to create Relais & Châteaux. In the beginning, there were eight such establishments along the road between Paris and the French Riviera. Today, there are only 520 Relais & Châteaux members.
