Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Luxury commercial property development, investment and management company, Al Khozama Management Company affirmed its leadership position in Saudi Arabia's hospitality industry after the company scooped ten regional and international awards in the first five months of 2012.

Most recently, the company's ultra-luxury Al Faisaliah Hotel became the first hotel in the Kingdom to be included in the prestigious Conde Nast Traveller Gold List 2012.  The hotel scooped the "Readers' Choice Award" with an overall score of 93.6, with its unique design, exceptional 24-hour personal butler service, state-of-the-art technology and finest dining restaurants contributing to its successful nomination.

The Al Faisaliah Hotel, managed by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, was also awarded "Best Business Hotel in Riyadh" by Business Traveller Middle East, an accolade that recognises the world class executive facilities offered at the hotel. 

The 2012 World Travel Awards, held earlier this month at the Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa in Dubai, added a further four international awards to Al Khozama Management Company's extensive awards showcase.  The company garnered "Saudi Arabia's Leading Hospitality Brands for its Al Khozama and Al Faisaliah brands", "Saudi Arabia's Leading Hotel" & "Middle East's Leading Luxury City Hotel" for Al Faisaliah Hotel in Riyadh and "Makkah's Leading Hotel" for Al Khozama managed Al Shohada Hotel.

Congratulating the whole team on these stunning achievements, a communiqué from the office of HH Prince Bandar Bin Saud Bin Khalid, Chairman of Al Khozama Management Company, states: "Recognition in the international realm of Al Khozama Management Company's commitment to excellence is gratifying.  Not only does it confirm that we are delivering on the objectives we have set for the company, but it also encourages further determination to excel at all levels of our business.
