DUBAI: Ramada Plaza Jumeirah Beach Residence today announced that it has been recognised with a nomination for Newcomer of the Year by Wyndham Hotel Group, the world's largest hotel company with nearly 7,260 hotels.
Announced at the Hotel Group's Europe, Middle East and Africa Awards Event held at Wyndham Grand London Chelsea Harbour in the U.K. capital, the nomination acknowledges Ramada Plaza Jumeirah Beach Residence as one of the very best in the hotel company's global portfolio.
To be eligible for the award, the hotel, which joined the Wyndham Hotel Group Europe, Middle East and Africa portfolio during the current year, had to achieve a top ranking score for guest satisfaction as measured by the company's external guest satisfaction survey.
"Ramada Plaza Jumeirah Beach Residence is a truly fantastic addition to our portfolio and obviously places great pride in the quality of the guest experience," said Rui Barros, senior vice president and managing director for Wyndham Hotel Group Europe, Middle East and Africa. "I congratulate the hotel staff on their successful opening and thank them for their dedication to the brand."

Already proving popular among both business and leisure guests, the hotel can accommodate up to 1,100 guests at any one time and has a stunning outdoor pool, well-stocked gym and a variety of dining options. The hotel also recently announced it was rolling out complimentary internet access, in response to guest feedback.
