Dead Sea (Jordan), 14 October 2012 - A select number of hospitality companies are about to be rewarded for their excellence. The Arabian Hotel Awards 2012 have now been judged and Mövenpick Resort & Spa Dead Sea has won an award in the category of Best Sustainable Hotel for Jordan.
Top scoring winners from the Arabian Hotel Awards will also compete against other winning companies from Asia Pacific, the UK, Africa, the Americas and Europe to find the ultimate World's Best in each category.
Successful companies have been invited to attend a high profile gala presentation dinner at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square on Sunday, November 4th when the official announcements will be made.
These awards are operated by the organisation which has run the International Property Awards for the last 18 years. Its aim is to seek out the best hotels from each country including those that have been purpose-built for conventions, spa, airports or resorts. Other sections include best sustainable hotel together with best hotel architecture, interior design, marketing and website. Hotel projects are chosen for their green credentials, excellent architectural merit and design.
Stuart Shield, president of the International Hotel Awards, says, "We are delighted to have received such a superb level of entries from across the length and breadth of the Middle East - both in number and quality. It will be really interesting to see how the region stands up to global competition now we are assessing the contenders for the World's Best awards."
Following the awards presentations, the organisers will be holding the International Hotel Awards Showcase at the World Travel Market at ExCeL in London from 5th - 8th November.
