Emirates Towers Hotel won the award for Best Business Hotel in the Middle East during the Travel Intelligence Middle East “Achieving Industry Excellence 2001 Awards” ceremony, held on April 30th on the eve of the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai.

The second Travel Intelligence awards were presented at a high profile gala dinner that brought together the Middle East Travel Industry. Awards were given to companies that have provided excellent levels of service throughout the year as voted by 8500 business travel agents and corporate buyers - readers of Travel Intelligence.

The award-winning Emirates Towers Hotel, already a true landmark in Dubai and dominating the skyline since its completion one year ago, is strategically located in the central business district of Dubai, next to the World Trade Centre on Sheikh Zayed Road, and adjacent to the Trade Centre Exhibition Halls.

The 400 - room hotel is, at 305 metres high, the third tallest hotel in the world while the adjacent Office Tower is the tallest building in the Middle East at 350 metres. The 51-storey towers, connected by the Emirates Towers Shopping Boulevard, are a dramatic backdrop to Dubai’s central business district and a highly visible statement of the region’s corporate success.
