June 2010 - The "Hotel Rating" of a big Swiss newspaper recently assessed hotels all over the Switzerland. This year's quest for the best Swiss hotels hit upon familiar major celebrities and promising new stars. Most important and gratifying result for German PMS producer protel hotelsoftware and their Swiss business partner Rebag Data: Within the group "Best holiday hotels" alone, protel customers won eight out of the top ten places.

The Swiss hospitality industry enjoys a solid reputation. Luxury hotels in particular have been busy investing in improvements, while in resorts, construction work continues unabated. Thus, this year's "Hotel Rating" features glamorous comebacks as well as spectacular debuts. Karl Wild, publisher, author and initiator of the yearly Swiss "Hotel Rating" confirms this trend: "There's hope and confidence all around. Many hotels just had a record winter season. And bookings for the summer are already high."

As every year the jury selected the best hotels in five categories: holiday hotels, city hotels, wellness hotels and spas, familiy hotels and low-budget hotels. The judging panel of experts from the hotel and tourism industry visited and assessed 125 hotels. To ensure equal chances only hotels operating a minimum of twelve rooms and a restaurant were allowed to enter the contest. - Eight out of the ten best holiday hotels are operating with protel:

1. Castello del Sole*****

2. Eden Roc*****

3. Badrutt's Palace*****
