Local restaurant wins Travelers’ Choice Award for ‘continuously delighting diners’

Tripadvisor, the world's largest travel platform, has announced the winners of its 2021 Traveler’s Choice Award for restaurants, recognising the Blue Elephant at Hilton Malta for consistently delivering fantastic experiences and earning great reviews over the last 12 months.

The Traveler’s Choice Awards are a prestigious benchmark for the tourism industry, based exclusively on reviews posted to Tripadvisor.

Hilton Malta’s General Manager, Richard Cuello stated, “I am immensely proud of what our team at the Blue Elephant Restaurant has managed to achieve over the last few months.

“This past year has been a very challenging year for the industry. However, the dedication, hard work and professionalism shown by the team at Blue Elephant has been remarkable, so much so, that it has resulted in being recognised among the top 10% of restaurants worldwide on Tripadvisor.”

He continued: “Congratulations and a big thank you to each and every team member who made this possible!”

“Congratulations to all the winners of the 2021 Travelers’ Choice Awards,” said Kanika Soni, Chief Commercial Officer at Tripadvisor.

“I know the past year has been extremely challenging for tourism businesses. What has impressed me is how businesses adapted to these challenges, implementing new cleanliness measures, adding social distancing guidelines, and utilising technology to prioritise guest safety.

“The Travelers’ Choice Awards highlight the places that are consistently excellent - delivering quality experiences time and time again even while navigating changing customer expectations and new ways of working. Based on a full year of reviews from customers, this award speaks to the great service and experience you provided guests in the midst of a pandemic.”
