It's been a fruitful year for Kuala Lumpur's Pan Pacific International Hotel, whose 441 rooms essentially sit just off the tarmac of the city's airport. After winning "Best Airport Hotel in Asia" for the seventh year in a row, the full-service property has just claimed the additional title of "World's Leading Airport Hotel."

With open voting hosted by by Business Asia Magazine, ballots "... are cast by 167,000 travel professionals in over 160 countries across the globe with winning categories covering all sectors of the global travel, tourism and hospitality industry." So you see, this was way more than a suggestion box in the hotel's lobby.

Other World winners include:

World's Leading All-Suite Hotel - Burj Al Arab, Dubai, UAE
World's Leading Boutique Hotel - Saxon Boutique Hotel & Spa, South Africa
World's Leading City Hotel - Swissotel Krasnye Holmy Moscow
World's Leading Design Hotel - Adam & Eve at Belek, Turkey
World's Leading Hotel Brand - Marriott Hotels Resorts & Suites

Check out all of the winners, even regional, at The World Travel Awards website.

Worst American Airport Hotel?

There isn't enough room on the internet to post all of the bad ones but my vote goes to to the Ramada JFK.

I know why

... the Pan Pacific at KL has won. KL airport is the most boring airport in the universe and travelers are so exhausted from boredom that they fall asleep there straight away and think that it's because the hotel's great.
