For the second consecutive year the Affinia Dumont - An Executive Fitness Hotel- has claimed a spot on the Expedia Insiders' 2008 Select List. 

The annual award recognizes the world's best hotels, as judged by more than 300,000 qualified reviews by Expedia customers.  The award is given to only one percent of all hotels offered by Expedia, one of the world's leading travel booking websites.

"We are thrilled to accept this prestigious award," said David McManus, general manager of the 241-suite midtown Manhattan hotel.  "It reflects the commitment, teamwork and passion of the entire Affinia Dumont team, who work diligently to ensure that every stay lives up to the Affinia brand promise of an experience of total customized comfort."

The Affinia Dumont is no stranger to awards and accolades from its loyal guests.  In addition to the Expedia award, in January 2008 the hotel was ranked #4 among top U.S. luxury hotels in TripAdvisor's 6th annual Travelers' Choice® Awards. 

A favorite of business and leisure travelers, the Affinia Dumont caters to fitness-focused guests with a wide range of services and amenities, including the Oasis Day Spa, a Fitness Concierge, fitness locker service and "Fit Kits" for in-room work-outs.
