20/05/2016, TRENČÍN. Hotel Elizabeth, member of the Historic Hotels of Slovakia Association, continues to collect some prestigious awards. This time, one of them was awarded to the Hotel CEO himself. Mr. Ján Svoboda was titled the Best Hotelier of 2015. 


The Association of Hotels and Restaurants of the Slovak Republic (ZHR SR) has been presenting the Hotelier of the Year Award since 1997. As one of a few awards, this one considers especially the performance indicators of accommodation facilities. The chart of the best hotel managers is composed based on collection of economic data of the individual ZHR SR member hotels. Therefore, the informative value of the award for the winner is very high. 

President of the Historic Hotels of Slovakia Association, who has been also managing the Hotel Elizabeth**** since its reopening in 2012, received this award for the first time. 

On the other hand, this is not the first award for Hotel Elizabeth****. In the past, the Hotel received the Best Customer Service Award from the Historical Hotels of Europe and the same association recognized it later as the Best City Historic Hotel in Europe. 

How does it feel to be the manager of an award-winning Hotel? “Among the hotels associated by this organization, the competition is very strong. Therefore, the HOTELIER OF THE YEAR title is a thrill not only for me but for our entire team as well,” says Svoboda.

And what is Ján Svoboda’s recipe for success? “It’s not enough to do things well. To succeed and make things work even in a smaller town such as Trenčín, everything has to be done excellently,” reveals the CEO of Hotel Elizabeth****, President of the Historic Hotels of Slovakia Association and currently also the Hotelier of 2015.
