YARDLEY, PA — Global Traveler announced the recipients of its prestigious Quint and Crystal Status honors, recognizing brands that have dominated their categories for five and 15 consecutive years in the magazine’s long-running GT Tested Reader Survey awards.
Now entering its 22nd year, the annual survey draws votes from more than 20,000 frequent luxury travelers, who select leaders across global travel, hospitality, and transportation. The special designations — Quint Status for five-year winners and Crystal Status for 15-year winners — highlight sustained excellence and consistent loyalty among the publication’s readership. In addition, Global Traveler awards Hall of Fame recognition for 10-year winners and Platinum Status for 20-year winners in applicable years.
For 2025, Hertz earned Quint Status for Best Rental Car Company following its fifth consecutive win, while Greece secured its fifth straight recognition as Best Tourism Destination.
Crystal Status honorees represent some of the survey’s longest-running streaks. TAP Air Portugal was named Best Airline in Europe for the 15th year in a row. The Peninsula Beverly Hills captured its 15th consecutive title as Best Hotel in the United States. Fiesta Americana Travelty Collection continued its dominance in Mexico, marking its 15th consecutive win as Best Hotel Chain in the country.
Winners will be honored at a Dec. 17 event at Loews Coral Gables. Additional details on this year’s inductees are available in the December issue of Global Traveler and at globaltravelerusa.com.
