VH Hotels & Resorts vice-president Roberto Casoni disclosed that Colonial surpassed such hotels as Saint James in Paris, Art by Piazza di Spagna in Rome and the Grand Hotel & Thalasso Spa in Saint Jean de Luz, France.
New Yorkers chose the Casa Colonial Beach & Spa as favorite, by way of survey conducted by the New York Post.
