Held at the Beaches Resort on the stunning Caribbean island of Turks and Caicos, the awards acknowledge the best of the best within the travel industry.

Pam Wilby, General Manager of Grosvenor House and Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa, commented:
"To be recognised as the World's Leading Serviced Apartment Hotel for the 3rd year in a row is a phenomenal achievement and we are thrilled that our long-term guests, and industry peers have sought to recognize our dedication to the pursuit of excellence."


"At Grosvenor House we constantly strive to be an exceptionally unique landmark in the world of hospitality by ensuring we deliver impeccable service time and time again," Wilby added.

Grosvenor House Dubai has 217 rooms and suites and 205 luxurious and well appointed, fully furnished apartment suites. The one, two and three-bedroom apartment suites are available on a short or long term lease and feature the same tasteful, understated décor and facilities of the hotel in a more permanent setting. For additional privacy, residents benefit from their own separate entrance and luxurious lobby featuring full reception and concierge service. 24 hour room service is merely a phone call away and the world-class restaurants and bars of Grosvenor House Dubai just steps from their door.

"As always, this award is testament to the associates of Grosvenor House who consistently work around the clock to ensure our name is synonymous with excellence - for this I can only offer my on on-going appreciation and gratitude," added Wilby.

The award presentation is the culmination of the 2008 World Travel Awards Grand Tour of regional ceremonies, which have taken place during the year in Australia, Africa, Central America, China, North America, Europe, China and Middle East. The World Travel Awards see 60 trophies handed out, and are considered the 'Oscars' of the travel and tourism industry. Over 167,000 votes are cast globally by fellow professionals from 164 participating countries around the world.
