The JW Marriott Marquis Dubai has won a phenomenal 15 international industry and media awards in its first year of operation.
The winning streak began with the Guinness Book of World Records Award for World's Tallest Hotel this time last year and went from strength to strength scooping multiple media awards from publications such as Business Traveller Middle East, Time Out Dubai, Cherry Pick Dubai, Black Hat Guide, What's On, Pro Chef and international travel publication, Travel & Leisure.
In the second half of 2013, Emirates owned JW Marriott Marquis Dubai was also awarded a number of impressive international titles - International Hotel Awards Best Hotel 5* Award, Best Convention Hotel 5* Award, Best New Hotel Construction & Design 5* Award and World Travel Awards World's Leading New Hotel, both for the region and globally.
Chef de Cuisine Tyson Podolski was named Meat Chef of the Year 2013, for his work in the boutique steakhouse Prime 68, where the finest heritage beef from small batch producers is expertly selected and prepared. Chef de Cuisine Amrish Sood is also currently shortlisted as Chef of the Year with BBC Good Food, in the JW Marriott's Marquis Indian restaurant Rang Mahal by Atul Kochhar. Rang Mahal is shortlisted as Restaurant of the Year with BBC Good Food, which would be another notch on the belt of Michelin starred Chef Atul Kochhar.
Reflecting on a highly successful year, General Manager Rupprecht Queitsch said: "The JW Marriott Marquis is an iconic property and we are delighted to see this reflected through so many prestigious awards. The hotel has been recognized globally by the travel industry, esteemed through the regional media, with members of our on-property team lauded for their outstanding skills. In just 12 months, the JW Marriott Marquis has made an impact on the global stage and established itself as a leading MICE hotel which also has a competitive leisure offering. I would like to thank our owners Emirates Group, DTCM, and our Executive Committee and talented, hardworking associates for helping us achieve such incredible accolades in one year."
