Welcome to the Concierge Choice Awards!
With tonight’s ceremony, we celebrate eight years of partnership with the New York City
Association of Hotel Concierges in recognizing the crème de la crème of the New York
City tourism industry.
And who better than our city’s concierges to honor those who leave an indelible mark on
so many visitors’ trips to the Big Apple?
As publishers of City Guide and Promenade magazines, it has been Davler Media Group’s
honor to organize this dinner, and to prepare the program you hold in your hands. Not
only does it recognize 2014’s winners and nominees — it serves as a handy reference
guide to many of our city’s best stores, restaurants, nightlife destinations, tours,
attractions, and more.
Visit conciergechoiceawards.com to see pictures from tonight’s event and past
ceremonies, and recommend some of your favorite businesses for consideration in next
year’s awards. This year there were over 200 submissions, resulting in our most diverse
group of nominees to date.
Lastly, we would like to salute all the nominees and winners, and are proud to make a
contribution to the Les Clef’s d’Or Foundation and NYCAHC Charitable Fund.
Congratulations to all,
David L. Miller
