Tokyo, Japan, February 2008 - Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo was chosen as a Best Value by Budget Travel Magazine in its first-ever Best Values list, powered by TripAdvisor ®. Featured on the cover of the magazine’s February issue, the list showcases the top hotels around the world with the best value, earning their distinction from those who know them best – real travelers. The winners were determined by a combination of the highest traveler ratings on TripAdvisor and its Popularity Index, a measurement of overall traveler satisfaction. “The awards were created to spotlight the hotels that give travelers what they really want: A reliably satisfying experience at a reasonable price,” said Erik Torkells, editor, Budget Travel Magazine. “We were thrilled to partner with TripAdvisor for our first-ever hotel awards program, to draw from their vast and reputable data to develop the list and feature traveler testimonials from their site for the winning hotels.” You can view the complete Best Values list (pdf) at BudgetTravel.com/bestvalues.
