Doha Marriott Hotel Sweeps Multiple Award Ceremonies in the Middle East

DOHA, QATAR--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2015) - It is said that good things come in threes. But in the case of the Doha Marriott Hotel, it's more like fives. This stunning Doha beach hotel recently took home top honors in no fewer than five award categories. And whether it was for community engagement or General Manager of the Year, each recognition underscores the hotel's commitment to excellence in every arena.

Out of more than 500 properties that entered the 2015 Hotelier Middle East Awards, only six made the shortlist for each category. From there, this luxury hotel in Doha, Qatar took home three top places:

• General Manager of the Year Award (John Hazard)
• Food & Beverage Manager of the Year Award (Dietmar Platz)
• Hotel Team of the Year Award

Each of these honors is in keeping with the hotel's focused efforts. The property, for example, enjoys a reputation for offering 5-star dining in Doha, but it also recently revamped two of its five restaurants as well as its chic Pearl Lounge Club. Not only were the improvements well-received, they also contributed to the hotel surpassing its goals for covers, revenue and budget.

In order to achieve (or surpass) any goal, however, a property must have the full participation of its staff. So the property's fourth honor, a Commitment to Training Award, is only fitting. Awarded at the Continent Human Resources Conference at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai, the recognition highlights the hotel's commitment to cultivating associates who can provide world-class service at these premier accommodations in Doha, Qatar.

Of course, the true success of a hotel can be measured against its positive impact within its community, and once again, the Doha Marriott has exceeded expectations. Qatar Living, an online portal serving the community with local news, classifieds, job listings and more, recently marked it 10-year anniversary. During the celebratory gala, the organization recognized the Doha Marriott's valuable partnership over the past decade with a Community Engagement Award, an honor that speaks to the hotel's vibrant presence within its neighborhood.

While each of the hotel's five recent awards recognizes the property's successes so far, it is the future that inspires the most excitement. "We are deeply honored by each and every accolade we have received this year," said General Manager John Hazard. "And we look forward to surpassing even this performance as we move forward."
