How the Top Stay on Top

Cardiff, Wales may not be one of the world's top destinations, but it is home to one of the world's top hotels. St. David's Hotel and Spa is on a roll, last year it won Conde Nast's top 20 Destinations in the world and their 7th best business hotel award. This seems however, only to be the start. The IC Wales Network just reported that St. David's broke their income record and pulled in more than 8.1 million pounds.

But they are not stopping there, after all, who likes being 7th best, Jason Harding, the general manager elaborates:

Mr Harding said, `While we are one of the leading venues for medium-sized conferences in Wales, I still believe Cardiff would benefit enormously from the development of a dedicated high-quality conference venue. The city currently suffers as a result.'

Now these are some standards. This guy runs a five-star hotel that is touted as one of the world's best, yet he still finds it fitting to use the word "suffer" when describing the city's lack of decent hotel conference space. That's right Mr. Harding, 7th place is crap, keep working.

It seems clear that this hotel is full of perfectionists and you know what that means, we'll book it.
