The Leading Hotels of the World Unveils 2010 Directory
Sydney January 2010 – It may not be noticeable to the naked eye, but there is something inherently different within the pages of The Leading Hotels of the World annual directory this year.

Unveiled at Leading Hotels’ Annual Convention, which took place in Venice, Italy in late November, the handsome hardcover volume again devotes a full page to each hotel. This year’s print run of more than 600,000 copies includes editions in Japanese and Mandarin.
