Hotel Takes Top Award at Sharjah Tourism Excellence Awards
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates - 18 May 2014
Hilton Sharjah has been named as the emirate's Best Five-Star Hotel at the prestigious Sharjah Tourism Excellence Awards.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Bin Sultan Al Qassimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, the Sharjah Tourism Excellence Awards celebrate and reward high achievers in the emirate's growing tourism sector for their contribution and efforts to promote first class hospitality in the emirate. Since launching in February 2013, the multi-award winning Hilton Sharjah has been a top choice for discerning travellers around the world, outshining competition to receive this coveted recognition.
Richard Gosling, general manager of Hilton Sharjah, said: "This award is a welcome tribute to the hard work of the team that brought our first Hilton property into the emirate of Sharjah just over one year ago; and I am delighted that we have been recognized for what Hilton hotels do best - satisfying our guests across the full spectrum of our business and leisure offering in the emirate.
"With our team members' ongoing commitment to providing outstanding hospitality and the support of Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority, we look forward to welcoming more guests from across the globe, to play our part in the sustained development of Sharjah's hospitality industry," concluded Gosling.
Located in the heart of the emirate, the hotel is within easy reach of top tourist spots and corporate districts - including Al Majaz Waterfront, Al Qasba Entertainment Zone and Sharjah Expo Centre - making it a popular choice for leisure guests exploring the emirate's cultural offering, and business visitors seeking to host meetings or special occasions in the hotel's various event spaces.
With spectacular views of the Khalid Lagoon or the Sharjah skyline direct from the comfort of the hotel's 259 executive rooms and five restaurants, Hilton Sharjah is well equipped to offer guests an unforgettable stay in the Arab Capital of Culture 2014.
The Sharjah Tourism Excellence Awards comes at an exciting time for the hotel, who is celebrating a batch major wins this month. At the 2014 World Travel Awards this month, Hilton Sharjah was recognized as the emirate's Leading Hotel 2014, in addition to receiving Sharjah's Best Environmental Hotel at MENA Travel Awards for the hotel's ongoing efforts to protect and preserve Sharjah's environment.
