Rixos The Palm Dubai walks away with the Middle East's Leading Lifestyle Resort 2013 award at the 20th Annual World Travel Awards. It is the Turkish leading hospitality operator's first property, located in one of UAE's premium addresses, lavishly catering to UAE's ever growing luxury leisure tourist market as well as to business travelers seeking refreshing locations beyond the conventional downtown addresses. The resort, enjoying a unique build up ratio of only 30% along with the longest beach stretch on the Palm, became instantly popular for its highly individualized experience offering to the occupants of its 231 rooms and was considered a great contender for the award. The AWTA award for Middle East's Leading Lifestyle Resort 2013, seals the positioning of Rixos The Palm Dubai as one of the most desired destinations not only on the Palm but also in the greater Middle Eastern Region and adds to the global recognition granted to Rixos Hotels for their hospitality excellence. The award was received by Mouhamad Hadla, Hotel Manager Rixos The Palm Dubai who commented: This is a huge achievement for the entire team of “Rixos The Palm Dubai who strive to provide exceptional service and inspiring Turkish hospitality to all of our guests. We look forward to welcoming many more savvy travelers to enjoy the renowned Rixos Experience.” – SG
