Le Méridien Al Aqah receives luxury hotel award

Le Méridien Al Aqah Beach Resort was recently awarded the best luxury hotel in the long-haul category by customers of German company L’TUR, the market leader in last minute travel.

L’TUR has served more than eight million guests since 1987 and works with more than 10,000 hotel partners. The award, named the “L’TUR Palm Tree”, is based on customers’ recommendations. It was awarded on 24 January at the Reisemarkt, a travel fair in Baden-Baden organized by L’TUR.

The award adds to the industry accolades Le Méridien Al Aqah has received since it opened in 2002, including the gold award in the ‘Best Leisure Hotel’ category, and the silver award in the ‘Best Price Value Hotel’ category at the MENA Travel Awards 2008; Holiday Check Award, 2007; the Middle East Leading Beach Resort by World Travel Awards, the Nickermann Primo and the TUI HOLLY all awarded in 2006.

“The award reflects the care we give to our guests to ensure they have a memorable stay,” said Patrick Antaki, General Manager, Le Méridien Al Aqah.

“With a large percentage of our guests arriving from Germany, the recognition from L’TUR will open the door to increased tourist arrivals from Germany and the European countries on the L’TUR network,” added Antaki.
