3 May 2007

During a glittering black tie event on Wednesday 2 May, One&Only Royal Mirage was recognized for its style, ambiance and continuous high standard of hospitality and service, and was bestowed the awards "Hotel Spa Facility of the Year 2007" and "Middle East & North Africa Hotel of the Year 2007".

With over 700 invitees from the hotel and tourism sector, most attending the annual Arabian Travel Market trade fair, this year's DEPA hotel awards took an interesting new format, with every guest being given an electronic keypad to vote for their preferred choice.

"We are thrilled to have won Middle East and North Africa Hotel of the Year and Hotel Spa Facility of the Year," said Olivier Louis, General Manager of One&Only Royal Mirage, Dubai. "It is truly an honour, just 48 hours after being voted Best Leisure/Resort Hotel in the Middle East by Business Traveller readers.

"In an ever-growing, competitive hospitality environment, to be recognised by both consumers and trade professionals to such a degree in the same week is overwhelming. It is once again a tribute to our product focus on style and elegance, combined with the genuine, caring service approach from our team members. Rest assured of our endeavour to continue our commitment to service excellence."
