Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers was awarded the Best Hospitality Establishment Award at the DMCC Members Awards held at Almas Tower last month.

Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers was hailed by the judging panel for its desire to offer a contemporary hotel experience, an urban setting, while maintaining sustainable practices. As part of the whole guest experience, the hotel delivers sustainable business by enforcing energy saving initiatives, using locally sourced ingredients and recycling materials.

“We are extremely honoured to receive this award.” said Chadi Gedeon, the hotel’s general manager. “This accolade is recognition of our continued commitment to offering an upscale and personalised service to all of our guests, maintaining a reputation amongst professional travel experts and continuing to be an active member in the community. Throughout our three years of operation within DMCC, the hotel has established a strong presence in the area and became a destination for both leisure and corporate guests.”

Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers proudly stands its ground in New Dubai’s dynamic residential and commercial quarter, Jumeirah Lakes Towers. The five-star, 168-room contemporary designed hotel offers idyllic views of Jumeirah Lakes and the Dubai Marina skyline, three ambient dining venues and convenient meeting facilities. Located just a short walk from the nearest metro station and with direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai’s key business districts and commercial free zones are nearby, while shopping malls, beaches, golf courses and world-renowned attractions are all within easy reach.
