The New York City Association of Hotel Concierges (NYAHC) awards Gray Line the prestigious honor!

Gray Line New York Sightseeing was voted the Best Sightseeing Tour Company in New York City by the New York City Association of Hotel Concierges (NYAHC) at this year's first annual Concierge Choice Awards for their extraordinary service to the concierge community in the past year and for providing exceptional experiences to New York visitors.

Nominees to the 12 categories were selected by the NYAHC and its Executive Board, and the winners were announced at the Concierge Choice Awards Dinner Monday, September 17th at 6 p.m. at Tavern on the Green. Mary Murphy, the Emmy-Award winning weekend anchor of CW11 News at Ten, emceed the evening's festivities. The NYAHC and City Guide Magazine, a division of Davler Media Group, have partnered in presenting the awards ceremony.

The Concierge Choice Awards recognize the best of New York from the professionals who know the best of New York in any given category. Whether its visitors on vacation or business executives, each group has discerning tastes and needs, and often relies on the concierge for information on the city's best dining, shopping, sights, nightlife, and entertainment and recreation destinations. In 2006, New York City hosted 44 million visitors, and spending has been rising steadily and is set to reach $24 billion by year's end.

A listing of nominees and winners are posted on cityguideny.com and nycahc.org. A portion of the proceeds from the Concierge Choice Awards will benefit the Les Clefs d'Or Foundation and the NYCAHC Crisis Fund.
