The awards are won by votes cast across the globe based on firsthand experience with a nominated facility.

The General Manager of Royal Senchi Hotel, Gerard Schraven in a statement to the press noted that the recognition was for Ghana as much as it was for the hotel, saying the West-African country was the anchor of the resort's brand .

He explained that the hotel’s recognition could be attributed to its representation of Ghana’s beautiful culture and tradition which had been woven into its fine contemporary hospitality.

He added that the Royal Senchi Hotel would continue to “enhance its services and products to suit the dynamic taste of customers, and also strive to embody the wealth of indigenous royalty which it seeks to represent”.
