Al Faisaliah Hotel, a Rosewood Hotel nominated for five World Travel Awards

The property has elevated the art of hospitality in the Kingdom; and, it continues to serve as the benchmark for all luxury hotels in the region, upholding the gold standard in modern elegance with its unparalleled service and unsurpassed attention to detail. This year Al Faisaliah Hotel has been nominated for five prestigious World Travel Awards - these awards are among the most sought after honors in the entire global travel industry. Thousands of voters each year decide which properties will win top accolades, awarding only the most luxurious, sophisticated and refined travel experiences. Last year, Al Faisaliah Hotel was named Saudi Arabia's leading hotel by the World Travel Awards for the 3rd consecutive year.

With its prestigious location in the heart of the city's business and residential area, the hotel is the only property in the Kingdom that boasts a lavish and expansive ballroom designed to host up to 4000 guests comfortably. A pioneer in Saudi Arabia's luxury hotel market, Al Faisaliah Hotel exclusively offers guests 24-hour butler service, and the 224-room property has elevated the standard of personalized service in Saudi Arabia.

Recognizing the ultra-luxury property as a leader in the industry, Al Faisaliah Hotel has been nominated by the World Travel Awards as the Leading Hotel and Leading Hotel Suite in the Middle East as well as the Leading Hotel, Leading Hotel Suite and Leading Business Hotel in Saudi Arabia.

'We are honored that Al Faisaliah Hotel has once again been recognized by the World Travel Awards,' said Michael Gibb, Regional Vice President of the Middle East for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts.

'To be nominated for five awards this year is a tremendous accolade and one more mark of distinction for this world-class property, which continues to be the crown jewel of Saudi Arabia.'

The regional World Travel Awards will be presented on March 12, 2007 during a gala at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.
