The Sanctuary Earns Prestigious Awards

Visiting | The Sanctuary



The Sanctuary was recently honored with top awards from the nation’s leading authorities on travel and leisure—Five Stars by the Forbes Travel Guide (formerly Mobil) and Five Diamonds by AAA. This is the third year in a row that Forbes has named The Sanctuary to this prestigious list and the fourth time for AAA since The Sanctuary opened in 2004.

The Forbes Travel Guide also recognized The Spa at The Sanctuary with Five Stars for the third consecutive year, making it one of only 13 spas to receive this honor. The Ocean Room at The Sanctuary, the Resort’s high-end steakhouse, earned both Forbes Four Star and AAA Four Diamond awards. It is the only steakhouse nationally to earn both Forbes Four Stars and AAA Four Diamonds.

“It is an honor to receive these distinguished and coveted awards,” said Roger Warren, president of Kiawah Island Golf Resort. “To win them year after year is a tremendous credit to our staff who has continued to maintain the highest standards of service making The Sanctuary one of the finest destinations in the world.”

Forbes Travel Guide’s 2010 Five Star awards feature properties in destinations throughout North America, as well as new international ratings in Hong Kong, Macau and Beijing. The North American winners include 47-Five Star hotels, 21-Five-Star restaurants, and 13-Five Star spas.

Forbes Travel Guide has defined the standard for what constitutes a Five Star hotel, restaurant, and spa experience since 1958. Since their launch over 50 years ago, the Five Star ratings have helped consumers make the smartest travel decisions when traveling in North America and beyond. Forbes Travel Guide provides travelers the most objective, most disciplined ratings for hotels, restaurants, and spas in the world. The hospitality industry respects and reveres the Five Star rating system, and consumers have put their faith in it for 50 years as they decide where to stay, dine, or play.
