Head to one of MENA's favourite hotels for the ideal spring break
With thoughts turning to spring getaways, choices can be overwhelming, which is why millions of would-be holidaymakers rely on recommendations to help them make the all important decision of where to stay. In this year's TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards, three Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties in the region were voted within the top 15 hotels in the Middle East, for categories including Relaxation and Spa, Service, and the Trendiest Hotels, by millions of TripAdvisor users with first-hand experience. Three Hilton Worldwide properties in Egypt were also voted among the top 25 hotels in the country.
Trendy and Stylish - Hilton Dubai Creek
Winner of 16 prestigious national and international awards, Hilton Dubai Creek adds another accolade to its collection, being voted the ninth trendiest hotel in the Middle East. Interiors defined by beech wood, soft leather upholstery and rich wool carpets, together with sculptured steel, a glass exterior and beautiful floor to ceiling windows, make the décor of this stunning hotel the ideal choice for those with a penchant for style. The attention to detail is extended to the signature restaurants and bars, including the newly opened, and the TripAdvisor number one ranked Table 9 by Nick and Scott. The new restaurant serves elegant food, with a distinctly casual slant and personal touch, from the freshly baked bread and cauliflower pot to the mouth-watering lemon bon bons.
Must Try: A unique tasting plate at Table 9 by Nick and Scott, such as the crispy hen's egg with cepes and sherry vinegar caramel, saddle of venison, celeriac & rosemary polenta with crushed blackberries or John Dory with tempura squid, enoky mushroom and green chili
Relaxation and Spa and Best Service - Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa
Receiving seven awards, Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa emerged as a shining star for Hilton Worldwide in the 2012 awards. Located on the Nile, one of the most breathtaking waterways in the world, the hotel exemplifies serenity and perfection; so it's easy to see why it was voted the eighth best hotel in the Middle East for Relaxation and Spa. Nayara Spa boasts interiors inspired by ancient Arabian style, with a diverse menu of therapies drawn from ancient recipes, creating a world of relaxation.
Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa was also recognized by TripAdvisor for its exemplary service. Dining on the Nile or enjoying a drink in one of the hotel's eight stylish bars and restaurants, or a shisha at the Diwan Café, indulge in service that is second to none while enjoying breathtakingly beautiful views of the east bank of the river.
Must try: Treat yourself to a soothing soak in a bath of milk, followed by a holistic spa treatment, and lounge in a hammock overlooking the Nile and the Valley of the Kings
Relaxation and Spa - Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa
Voted best for Relaxation and Spa, the Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa is an oasis of calm and just an hour's drive from the bustle of Dubai. Nestled in a spectacular private bay at the northern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, the resort resides on a one kilometre stretch of pristine soft white sandy beach, providing the ultimate backdrop of serenity. The luxurious spa features an authentic marble Turkish Hammam and nine treatment rooms, to help refresh and rejuvenate your body and mind.
Must Try: A soak in the Royal Hammam to detoxify and replenish your skin, washing away the stresses of the week
The Best of Egypt
Egypt hotels are also recognized and are celebrating success in TripAdvisor's Egypt categories. Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa topped the charts for Best Hotel in Egypt, whilst Hilton Sharm El Sheikh Fayrouz Resort is featured in the Top 25 overall, and the Best Service category in Egypt.
As for style and design, Conrad Cairo is featured in the top 20 Trendiest Hotels in Egypt.
