As the Middle East's leading beach resort and spa, the hotel is renowned for its impeccable service and luxury, landing it a spot on the highly acclaimed Forbes Traveler 400 list of Best Hotels around the world.

Selected by the world's most distinguished board of experienced travel experts, respected business leaders and elite travel agents, the Forbes Traveler 400 is an authoritative compendium of the world's best hotels and resorts. The aim of the list is not to rank the best hotel but provide cultivated travelers with a guide to some of the most alluring hotels in the world.

Pam Wilby, General Manager of Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort + Spa and Grosvenor House Dubai stated: "This is a complete delight to be recognized by Forbes Traveler 400 as one of the best hotels in the world. We firmly believe that superior quality service is what guests need; a fundamental foundation that our royal family constantly strives towards."

The esteemed panel of judges evaluated hotels on seven criteria: service, room & bathroom, décor, food & beverage, public areas & facilities, sports & recreation and location. To ensure the impartiality of the survey, no hotel executives participated and experts assigned the reviews to professional travel writers who did not received special treatment from the hotels they covered.

"We here at Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort + Spa understand the needs of our guests to get away from daily stresses, and cater to a multitude of needs independent of whether guests are visiting for business or leisure. The resort's 500 rooms and suites can cater to almost every type of traveler" concluded Wilby.

Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort + Spa was recently awarded the highly sought-after World's Leading Spa Resort accolade at the World Travel Awards 2008.
