London/Dubai, 19 September 2012

Jumeirah Emirates Towers, the luxury city hotel and a Dubai landmark, was presented with the award for the Best Business Hotel in the Middle East at last night's Business Traveller Magazine Awards. Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts were also awarded Best Business Hotel Chain in the Middle East.

The Business Traveller Magazine Awards are judged independently by the magazine's readers and are widely recognised as the leading accolades in the business travel industry.

On receiving the award at the ceremony held at The Royal Garden Hotel in London, Imran Changezi, Hotel Manager of Jumeirah Emirates Towers, said: "We are delighted to win this award, even more so as it is the 11th consecutive year that we have been named Best Business Hotel in the Middle East. It is a testament to the consistency of our service standards, and demonstrates that we are still the hotel of choice for business travellers to the Middle East."

Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts have also been recognised as the Best Business Hotel Chain in the Middle East on several occasions, most recently in 2011.

An iconic landmark where business meets pleasure, Jumeirah Emirates Towers is located in the heart of Dubai, within a few minutes walk from Dubai International Financial Centre. Offering everything that a business traveller would need, the 400 rooms and suites luxury hotel recently underwent an extensive renovation, refurbishing all of its rooms as well as the signature steak restaurant The Rib Room and Al Nafoorah restaurant, specialising in Lebanese cuisine. In addition, Jumeirah Emirates Towers recently opened Alfie's restaurant in the Boulevard, the award-winning shopping destination connecting Jumeirah Emirates Towers Office Tower and Hotel Tower.

Its business facilities are what set Jumeirah Emirates Towers apart from other business hotels in the region.  The hotel's conference and business facilities are second to none - 12 boardroom style Congress Rooms are situated on Level 1-5 in the Hotel Tower and level 3 is occupied by a fully equipped Biz Pod business centre, with state of the art life-size video conferencing system, along with three intimate boardrooms that are open 24 hours daily.
