Yesterday I was reading some interesting updates on the Cairo Marriott Hotel’s blog, and discovered that the property was recently awarded a rather prestigious honour: 2007 Marriott Hotel of the Year for the United Kingdom, Ireland, Middle East & African region (UKIMEA). Congrats!
During Marriott’s leadership conference on April 11th held at the Marriott Cairo Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino, I happened to be at the property. Since I’m a nosy hotel blogger, I snapped a picture of a conference sign leading into the Marriott’s expansive garden area. Little did I know that I would feature this image in a blog post:
I figured that the conference was a big-wig Marriott party, and the hotel certainly pulled out all the stops in the decorations for the public areas and gardens.
No doubt the location for the leadership conference was planned far before the winner was chosen for Hotel of the Year, but what a bonus for the Cairo Hotel team that the host hotel was also the winner for 2007.
Ulrich Huth, General Manager of the Cairo Marriott, commented on the occasion stating that “Winning such a prestigious award strengthens the fact that the Cairo Marriott’s team is the best! The team’s exceptional devotion to work and its dedication to provide guests with the finest level of service is the reason behind this success.”
The Cairo Marriott just keeps getting better and better. Congrats on the award, and a big shout out to Ahmed and the pool boys who always make us feel at home when we hit the beach chairs poolside. BTW, isn’t it about time for a blogger’s discount for the entrance fee? We’re working hard for you here!
I wonder if anyone from Marriott in Cairo has read our hotel love?
