As expectations for luxury residential living evolve, exceptional service has become as important as world-class design. Home-buyers and residents increasingly expect the personalized, intuitive experiences long associated with the world's finest hotels.

To help residential developers, operators and management companies meet that demand, Forbes Travel Guide today announced the launch of Verified Luxury Residences, a comprehensive service excellence and quality assurance program created exclusively for luxury residential communities.

"Hospitality has become one of the greatest opportunities for differentiation in luxury residential," said Hermann Elger, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide, in a statement.

"Verified Luxury Residences gives developers and operators a proven framework for building exceptional service cultures while providing meaningful recognition from one of the world's most trusted names in luxury hospitality," he said.

Properties that successfully complete the program earn the Verified Luxury Residences designation, recognizing their commitment to hospitality-inspired service.

Coinciding with the launch, forbestravelguide.com/residences showcases the inaugural collection of Verified Luxury Residences.

The site Is designed to offer buyers, residents and real estate professionals a trusted resource for discovering communities recognized for exceptional service.

The program helps organizations embed service excellence throughout the resident experience via professional training, operational guidance, ongoing quality assurance and continuous improvement.

"For today's discerning buyers and residents, luxury is defined not only by where they live, but by how they are cared for every day," Mr. Elger said.

"The Verified Luxury Residences designation helps consumers identify communities that have invested in the people, culture and operational excellence that create exceptional everyday experiences," he said.

Properties that have earned the Verified Luxury Residences designation so far include the Waldorf Astoria Residences and 53 W 53 in New York, Waldorf Astoria Residences Las Vegas, Sun Rose Residences in Los Angeles, Ritz-Carlton Residences in Philadelphia, Fendi Chateau in Surfside, Florida, Residences by Armani/Casa Miami and the Millennium Tower SF in San Francisco, among others.

“The program ensures the same exceptional service and personalized hospitality consistent with the world's finest hotels is provided at luxury residences at the highest level,” said Stuart Greif, chief strategy and innovation officer of Forbes Travel Guide.
