Emirates Towers is named Dubai's winner of the Leading Hotels of the World Commitment to Quality Award

Presented during the hotel marketing group's 2003 Annual Convention, the accolade was given to only 11 hotels in the world.

The Commitment to Quality Awards recognize Leading Hotels and Leading Small Hotels in six regions: Africa/Middle East, Asia, Europe, Mexico/Caribbean and North America. The winners are those properties that achieved the highest scores during their most recent Leading Hotels' impartial, anonymous inspections.

The awards, which objectively measure the hotels from the traveller's perspective, are based solely on the results of stringent inspections by Leading Quality Assurance, a joint venture company of The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd. that provides full-service inspection services and assessment programs. With more than 1,500 criteria, these inspection reports are the most comprehensive in the luxury industry.

Bill Walshe, Corporate Director of Sales and Marketing for Jumeirah International commented, 'We are delighted to receive this accolade from The Leading Hotels of the World which we will use a mark of excellence to further be recognised as the world's finest corporate hotel through passion, integrity, customer focus and innovation'.

Over the past three years, The Leading Hotels of the World Ltd has inspected and reinspected all of its member hotels, also visiting hundreds of non-member hotels applying for membership. This broad first-hand knowledge enables the Leading inspectors to set specific criteria and establish rigorous standards.
