(Macau).- Melco Crown Entertainment announced that its two luxurious hospitality establishments, Altira Macau and City of Dreams' Crown Towers bestowed the Forbes Five-Star Hotel Awards by the 2013 Forbes Travel Guide.

Altira Macau has earned the highest rating in both the Hotel and Spa categories for four years in a row, while City of Dreams' Crown Towers is the first hotel brand in the Cotai region to receive this award.

On February 26, Forbes Travel Guide unveiled its 55th annual listing of Star Award-winning worldwide hospitality establishments in Los Angeles. Altira Macau and City of Dreams' Crown Towers are among the world's 76 Five-Star Hotels with this prestigious list featuring only five hotels from Macau. Worldwide, Altira Spa is one of only 35 hotel and resort spas to have received the Five-Star rating honor in 2013, and is one of only four Macau-based spas to be recognized.

Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment, said, "We are honored to have again received this very prestigious and authoritative accolade and to be recognized among the best hotels and spas in the world. The coveted Five-Star awards reflect the exceptional commitment that is present at both Altira Macau and City of Dreams' Crown Towers, whereby each and every guest experiences the true art of hospitality."

Approaching its sixth anniversary, the contemporary luxurious Altira Macau is proud to have earned the highest rating in both the Hotel and Spa categories for four consecutive years. Its contemporary, luxurious decor and attention to detail mean that it has always been one of the town's most favorite hospitality brands for both tourists and locals.

City of Dreams' Crown Towers, on the other hand, is a recipient of this accolade for the first time and the award represents yet another step in the resort's progress towards becoming a premier leisure and entertainment destination in the Asian region. A hotel that truly understands the meaning of opulence, Crown Towers is a pure luxury and indulgence in the heart of City of Dreams, and is the first Cotai hotel brand to have ever been acknowledged by the Forbes institution for Five-Star service excellence.

The Forbes Travel Guide has defined the industry's highest standard for excellence in hospitality for over 50 years, providing one of the most comprehensive evaluation systems of hotels, restaurants and spas in the world. The Forbes Five-Star Hotel Awards are granted to hotels with exceptionally distinctive luxury environments that offer a consistently superlative, personalized service, and extensive amenities and treatments. Similarly, the Forbes Five-Star Spa Awards recognize exceptionally distinctive hotel spa experiences that meet an equivalent standard.

Lawrence Ho further explained, "Both Altira Macau and Crown Towers at City of Dreams, Macau represent Melco Crown Entertainment's in-depth understanding of the hospitality landscape in Asia and its commitment to elite tourism. The awards fortify our contribution to Macau's transformation into an international travel and leisure destination for the most discerning guests."

Over the course of 2012, both Altira Macau and City of Dreams have garnered multiple industry honors and forms of recognition. City of Dreams was awarded the "Integrated Resort of the Year" award at the 6th International Gaming Awards. Its contemporary French restaurant, The Tasting Room, was honored with the prestigious Michelin star rating in the "Michelin Guide Hong Kong & Macau 2013" and ranked number five in "Hong Kong Tatler's Best Restaurants Guide" inaugural list of the 20 top restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau. City of Dreams' signature Chinese restaurant, Jade Dragon, was named "Best New Restaurant". Altira Macau's Aurora, Kira, Tenmasa and Ying restaurants were also recommended in the prestigious fine dining guide.
