Wahanda at the Conde Nast Traveller Reader Spa Awards in London
Last Monday in London, I was fortunate enough to be (somewhat) invited to the Conde Nast Traveller Magazine Reader Spa Awards which took place at the Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge (which has a lovely spa apparently) and was sponsored by ESPA. See, it happened to be snowing that day - very heavily - and so due to many a cancellation, I was able to get a ticket to the hot event. (Yes, Wahanda is only about nine months old in terms of being a living breathing website, so we are still on the outside knocking in at times, but we are making good progress). A few pictures below of the evening.
Anyway, it was really a fascinating evening. The magazine was expecting over 300 guests, but due to the inclement weather there were only about 100 people, but that made for an intimate evening with lots of Laurent-Perrier champagne for everyone.
I will write another blog entry detailing the winners which will be featured in the March issue of Conde Nast Traveller in a separate Spa Guide that will come packaged with the monthly edition of the magazine. The goodie bag for the evening was our very own copy of the annual edition.
For those of you who cannot wait, you can see the shortlist of the 2009 nominated spas & winners here on Wahanda:
· Top 25 Spas in the World - Conde Nast
· Conde Nast Traveller Nominees for World's Best Spas
· Conde Nast Traveller's Best Day Spas
· Conde Nast Traveller's Best Hotel Spas
· Conde Nast Traveller's Best Medical, Thermal and Natural Spas
