NEW YORK, NY – (January 17, 2013): Scott Mathis, Chairman & Founder of Algodon Properties, is pleased to announce that TripAdvisor’s 2013 Travelers’ Choice® awards has selected the Buenos Aires luxury boutique hotel, Algodon Mansion, as one of the TOP 25 winners in the following five categories: Luxury Hotels in South America, Luxury Hotels in Argentina, Small Hotels in South America, Small Hotels in Argentina, and Hotels for Service in Argentina.  TripAdvisor is the world’s largest travel website, and its annual Travelers' Choice awards are based on millions of reviews and opinions from TripAdvisor travelers.  Now in its eleventh year, TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice awards honor the world’s best hotels, earning their distinction from those who know them best – real travelers.  Unlike any other hotel honors, TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice winners are based on millions of valuable reviews and opinions from travelers around the world.
