In its 11th year, the annual TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice Awards recognise the world's best hotels based on millions of valuable reviews and opinions covering more than 650,000 hotels that are collected in a single year from travellers around the world.

"It is gratifying to be named Australia's best hotel by the global travelling community. It is a wonderful achievement for Emirates and we're honoured to be recognised by our guests in these highly competitive awards," said Joost Heymeijer, General Manager, Emirates Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa.

"From the outset, we have always strived to deliver a unique, world-class Australian experience. From our commitment to conservation, thoughtful architecture and understated design to supporting local producers, it is clear our ethos has resonated with guests and we're humbled by the glowing reviews on TripAdvisor," concluded Heymeijer.

Located a scenic three-hour drive from Sydney, the luxury conservation-based resort is nestled between two national parks in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. The Emirates property features 40 individual secluded suites, each with its own indoor / outdoor swimming pool, private verandah, separate living and sleeping areas, luxurious en suite bathroom and double-sided fireplace.

The resort itself occupies just two per cent of the 4,000-acre property, and combines the expectations of the high-end traveller with a commitment to broader social, ecological and environmental sustainability.

Emirates operates flights on a daily schedule from Malta to Dubai via Larnaka, Cyprus.
