Sterling Holiday Resorts has secured significant recognition at the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2026, with 28 resorts across its portfolio receiving Travellers’ Choice honours and Sterling Kanha winning the prestigious Best of the Best Award for the fourth consecutive year.
The awards recognise hotels and resorts that consistently receive positive guest reviews and ratings on Tripadvisor, placing them among the platform’s top-rated hospitality properties worldwide.
According to the company, the 28 award-winning resorts represent nearly 49 per cent of Sterling’s eligible portfolio, comprising properties that have completed at least one full year of operations. The recognition spans a diverse range of destinations, including leisure, wildlife, wellness, pilgrimage and hill station markets.
Sterling said 21 of the recognised resorts have earned Travellers’ Choice honours for two consecutive years, while 12 properties have maintained a three-year winning streak, highlighting sustained guest satisfaction and operational consistency across the portfolio.
Seven resorts joined the winners’ list this year, with Sterling Athirappilly, Sterling Brookstone Coorg, Sterling Manali, Sterling Mount Abu, Sterling Bagh Ranthambore, Sterling Rewild Sariska and Sterling Aravalli Udaipur receiving the recognition for the first time.
Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sterling Holiday Resorts, said the awards reflect the company’s focus on delivering consistent guest experiences rather than isolated excellence.
He said the recognition across multiple destinations demonstrates the effectiveness of Sterling’s strategy of combining service standards with locally inspired experiences and disciplined operational practices.
The company noted that Sterling Kanha’s fourth consecutive Best of the Best Award further reinforces its reputation among travellers and positions the resort among Tripadvisor’s highest-rated properties globally.
Industry observers view portfolio-wide recognition on travel review platforms as an increasingly important indicator of guest satisfaction, particularly as travellers rely more heavily on online reviews when selecting accommodation.
Sterling Holiday Resorts continues to expand its footprint across India, focusing on experiential travel destinations while maintaining emphasis on service quality, local engagement and destination-led hospitality experiences.
