Henry Kallan also received the award for Americasʼ Best City Boutique Hotel 2015 for his Library Hotel, sister hotel of Aria, located in New York City, the announcement added.
“When we figured out 15 years ago that we will build a hotel, which also nurtures a library of 6,000 books, many people laughed at us. Since then, it turned out that culture and traveling complete each other well,” Kallan said after the presentation of the awards.
