W Doha opens its doors to all guests

A "hotel for the young and the young at heart," W Doha prizes first-class service and took this opportunity to recognize and motivate those employees, or "talents," who go the extra mile in offering outstanding service as the hotel gears up to welcome guests today.

The W world is all about service. The staff is warm, witty and unique and that is evident in how each talent fits into the W culture. Room attendants become "room stylists," doorpersons are "door ambassadors," engineers are "stage managers" and supervisors are "talent coaches." All W departments, talent coaches and talents competed to win the prestigious award and prizes.

And the winners are for "Who's Best Dressed" (or who best exemplifies the W look), Angie Sulistia, Finance. For "Who Knows W" (or who can walk-the-walk and is in-the-know about anything W Doha), Dismon Perinchery, Style. For "Who's Most Welcoming" (or who has the best smile and warm welcome for every visitor), Frederick Odembo Alouch, W's Whatever/Whenever comprehensive guest service. For "Who's Most Whatever/Whenever" (or who has that Whatever/Whenever attitude and makes great things happen), Jane Nedanoski, Beverage and Food. For "Cleanest Villa in the Talent Village" (or which villa is the best organized, cleanest and most indulgent), Villa #3 or the "Insider" villa).

Speaking of the W stars, Mr. Safak Guvenc, W Doha Hotel & Residences General Manager, said, "W Doha didn't have to train its talents for personality; they are dynamic and creative and as excited as I am for W Doha to open today. The W Oscars are a chance for those who go the extra W mile to be recognized for their efforts and the personality and spirit of excellence they bring to our team. Every W talent is a skilled, motivated person who works together as a team with one common goal...to deliver the 'WOW!' experience to every guest."
