Auberge Award The word "Auberge" has been long forgotten as a name in German speaking countries, however, it originates in the 17th century as a loan word from French: AUBERGE - hôtel from old French - (h)ostel - from the late Latin Hospitale, also used to denote accommodation. This term, used in 17th century France to describe the exquisite town houses of the aristocracy - has now been used by the Berliner Tageszeitung - Berliner Tageblatt for many years, year in, year out as the "AUBERGE AWARD" to describe the excellent top hotels providing only the best in terms of standard, furnishings and luxury.

History

Not only a Song, first the Travellers Interest Yes, yes...the people of Berlin icke - dete kieke mal - pack die Badehose ein (translator's note: the former is a typical phrase in the Berlin dialect, meaning "I see it" and the second is the first line of a song sung by Cornelia Froboess in the Fifties) The BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG - Berliner Tageblatt - Deutsche Tageszeitung has made it its duty to provide interested readers with interesting facts daily whether in Spring (season), Summer, Autumn and Winter, Sunday, Public Holiday, Easter, Christmas and New Year's Eve around the clock making their life more interesting. Whereby today already can see: printed news is becoming yesterday news. As a definition, is to quote Emil Dovifat: "A newspaper conveys the newest developments in short regular intervals to the wider public.

Jury

A prize is a question of honour first and foremost; for that reason in choosing the Jury, the emphasis was on: - this, that or the other, annually the Editor-in-chief looks for people who have an impeccable reputation, be it as Queen of the World, Queen of Europe, a professor, a celebrity or even the mayor - the AUBERGE AWARD jury is them made up of three people who have convinced the Editor-in-chief in word and picture that they fit the criteria.

Award winner

Since 2008, the Berliner Tageszeitung has awarded the Auberge Award to hotels worldwide who are chosen by a jury based on readers' online votes. The award ceremony takes place under the supervision of the notary on the basis of the choice of spectators. The inspiration for the award was taken from the ideas of hairdresser David Lowe, who on 25 January 1774 opened the world's first Grand Hotel in London's Covent Garden.
