The Emirates Palace hotel and Emirates Palace Spa have, once again, been crowned the ‘World’s Leading Luxury Beach Resort’, ‘World’s Leading Conference Hotel’, ‘Middle East’s Best Hotel Spa’ and ‘Abu Dhabi’s Best Hotel Spa’ at the 2017 World Travel Awards.

The exclusive red carpet ceremony was held at the JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa in Vietnam. Commenting on the international recognition these honours bring to Abu Dhabi, Holger Schroth, General Manager at Emirates Palace, said: ‘To win such international accolades once is a General Manager’s highest aspiration. To win them several years in a row is a testament to our team’s hard work and passion and a tribute to the already highly acclaimed VIP guest services at Emirates Palace’.

The contenders in the long-running World Travel Awards are a veritable ‘Who’s Who’ of luxury travel. Winning the awards for three consecutive years solidifies Emirates Palace position as, not just the Middle East’s premier tourism destination, but also the world’s.

Emirates Palace, the iconic five-star hotel in the heart of Abu Dhabi, is recognised for exceeding guests’ expectations and its consistently outstanding guest reviews. Emirates Palace Spa features an array of superb spa escapes like the signature 24 Carat Gold Radiance Facial, and partners with exclusive brands, such as Forlle’d, Amra, Gentlemen’s Tonic and Bastien Gonzales.
