Mobil Travel Guide Announces the First Ever Mobil Five-Star Hotel & Resort Spa; Introducing America's Best Hotel & Resort Three- Four- and Five-Star Spas


April 20, 2005 - Mobil Travel Guide today announced its 2005 America's Best Hotel and Resort Spas, including the first spa property to achieve the coveted Mobil Five-Star Award. The Spa Montage at Montage Resort in Laguna Beach, Calif., has been identified as the country's number one spa according to the undercover inspectors at Mobil Travel Guide. It joins the elite group of 31 Mobil Five-Star hotels and 14 Mobil Five Star restaurants.

"In our second year of rating hotel and resort spas, we are extremely pleased to honor the first Mobil Five-Star winner, Spa Montage," said Kenneth P. Cohen, vice president, public affairs, Exxon Mobil Corporation. "We are also delighted to highlight the additional 68 spas achieving 2005 star ratings."

"The spas awarded today are committed to service and have dedicated themselves to providing their guests with more than just luxurious facilities -- they provide the consumer with an oasis of calm in a fast-paced world," Cohen added.

Each of the featured spas underwent rigorous inspections similar to the process that Mobil Travel Guide has been applying to lodgings and restaurants for more than four decades. Using objective standards created to mirror the average traveler's needs and expectations, inspectors traveled to properties across the country, conducting visits without the properties' knowledge. From making reservations to selecting treatments, inspectors used the same set of standards, evaluating 450 different attributes of their experience. General evaluation criteria for each Mobil star rating level can be found at www.mobiltravelguide.com.

According to the International Spa Association's 2004 report, the spa industry is hotter than ever. In 2003, over 36 million people visited a hotel and resort spa, and hotel and resort spa revenue represented 41 percent of the total industry revenue of $11 billion.

Just Released!
In The Grand Spas of Central Europe, historian David Clay Large follows the grand spa story from Greco-Roman antiquity to the present, focusing especially on the years between the French Revolution and World War II, a period in which the major Central European Kurorte (literally, “cure-towns”) reached their peak of influence and then slipped into decline.
