Alila Jabal Akhdar, a luxury resort in Oman, was awarded ‘Best Suite in a Hotel 50 – 200 Rooms’ in the Global Category at The International Hotel & Property Awards held in Italy last month.

Julian Ayers, regional vice president of Alila Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are very proud to be recognised for this world-renowned mark of excellence. We owe this accolade to our amazing guests - our greatest ambassadors – as well as Alila Jabal Akhdar’s committed staff and our quality service.”

The International Hotel & Property Awards are hosted by Design et Al, a leading interior design magazine based in the UK. The results were based on voting by industry professionals, readers, clients and customers.

The resort has also received a number of prestigious awards for leisure tourism. Regionally, Alila Jabal Akhdar received the LEED Silver Certification in March in the Building Design and Construction rating system for New Construction by the US Green Building Council - marking the first development in Oman to obtain the prestigious international LEED certification.

In May the resort was awarded for the GCC Leisure and Tourism Project of the Year at the MEED Quality Awards 2015. The resort has also snagged the award for Conde Nast Traveller Middle East: Hot List 2015 and Emirates Woman: The Top Luxury Travel Destinations for 2015, amongst others. – TradeArabia News Service
