Faisaliah Hotel reigned supreme at the prestigious World Travel Awards grand gala ceremony in Maldives early December by collecting three of the global awards. Al Faisaliah Hotel received the award for "World's Leading Business & Conference Hotel 2016", while Al-Faisaliah Suites was awarded both the "World's Leading Luxury Suites Hotel 2016" and "World's Leading Hotel Penthouse 2016" for the second consecutive year. The recent wins follow four awards received by the property at the Middle East regional heats held in Dubai in September. Commenting on the awards, General Manager Alexander Blair said: "The World Travel Awards are recognized across the industry for setting the benchmark for true luxury and service excellence. To be present at the grand finals and receive three awards on behalf of Al Faisaliah Hotel is a true honor. This has been a phenomenal year for Al Faisaliah Hotel, as it has been distinguished for its luxurious suites, decadent spa and extensive business facilities at award ceremonies across the globe. These awards bring the total number of honors received in 2016 to a staggering 15 from eight different sources. With exciting developments planned in 2017 including the unveiling of the first phase of an unparalleled refurbishment, which will include 129 rooms and a new all day dining restaurant, which will ultimately redefine the hospitality landscape in the Kingdom, we look forward to further industry acknowledgment for our uncompromising luxury offering." Commenting on the achievement, Hussein Hatata, vice president of Al-Khozama Management Company's Hospitality Division, said: "Al-Faisaliah Hotel continues to set itself apart in service excellence and the awards it has received this year are a testimony to its commitment to serving its guests. We are grateful to Al-Khozama's board of directors, led by its Chairman Prince Bandar Bin Saud Bin Khalid and business partners who together, through their own unique contribution, have made receiving these accolades possible. We are excited about the future; 2017 is shaping up to being another eventful year for Al-Faisaliah Hotel and for the Al-Faisaliah brand as we prepare for the grand opening of Al-Faisaliah Resort and Spa at Durrat Arriyadh." — SG
