The winners were determined after being scored on several parameters unique to each category.
While expressing delight over the announcement, Umar Tramboo, MD, Pinnacle Resorts Pvt Ltd, promoter of The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa, Gulmarg said the selection as Favourite Boutique Hotel by Condé Nast Traveller India readers reaffirms the travellers’ belief in The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa as the “finest and first” resort in Gulmarg “offering comforts and facilities on a par with international standards and personalised service hitherto unavailable”.
