Honouring hospitality excellence & consistently outstanding TripAdvisor® reviews
The award-winning Emirates Palace has once again been recognised as one of the world's best hotels as it was awarded a Certificate of Excellence by leading consumer recommendation body TripAdvisor®.
Emirates Palace, the iconic five-star hotel in the heart of Abu Dhabi, is recognised for its consistently outstanding reviews and, in particular, its sumptuous suites, world-class service, breathtaking surrounds and stunning design.
The Certificate of Excellence is a very timely accolade; it follows the recent implementation of rigorous internal training programmes to specifically develop the already highly-acclaimed VIP guest service at Emirates Palace.
The ultimate destination hotel for private, family and business getaways, Emirates Palace's sublime offering continues to receive outstanding reviews on TripAdvisor® - maintaining an impressive overall rating of four or higher, out of a possible five.
"TripAdvisor® is pleased to honour exceptional businesses for consistent excellence, as reviewed by travellers on the site," said Christine Petersen, president of TripAdvisor® for Business. "The Certificate of Excellence award gives highly rated establishments around the world the recognition they deserve."
Emirates Palace General Manager Bugra Berberoglu comments: "Emirates Palace strives to set new standards of excellence for both service and facilities and is delighted to have once again received the international acclaim it deserves. The TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence is extremely important to our team as it recognises the voice of the guest and rewards our continued efforts to ensure Emirates Palace remains the world's leading, luxury destination hotel."
