On Jan. 18, TripAdvisor, Inc., the world's largest travel site, announced the winners of its 2012 Travelers' Choice® awards. The 10th annual awards has revealed premier properties in the U.S. and world, in addition to winners in the categories of Best Luxury and Bargain, Best for Service, B&Bs and Inns, All-Inclusive, Spa, and Trendiest.

“We have devoted ourselves to making our home as comfortable and inviting as we possibly can,” said Kim Egelseer. “Every guest is special to us and we treat everyone with kindness, respect and love,” added Susan Egelseer.

Obviously, by the number of positive reviews, their guests love them, too.

As TripAdvisor has continued its growth globally, featuring sites in 30 countries and in 21 languages, the Travelers' Choice Hotels awards now highlight a broader range of spectacular properties across the globe.

"TripAdvisor is incredibly proud to announce its Travelers' Choice award-winning hotels for the tenth year," said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor.
