In celebration of the decade anniversary, the World
Luxury Hotel Awards designed a limited edition
trophy for its winners, plated in 24 karat gold and
beautifully and meticulously crafted to symbolise
elegance, grandeur, majesty and luxury. Winners
held their trophy with pride as they were given an
opportunity for one-on-one personalised video
interviews to speak about their achievement with
media.
“We wish to congratulate all our winners for the 2016
award year, who through their tireless efforts and
unbounded passion to satisfy their guests needs,
have received this honour tonight. True luxury is no
small feat, it takes a team of highly dedicated staff
willing to go the extra mile and stop at nothing to
ensure that no request goes unanswered. This is the
definition of luxury, this is what defines a World
Luxury Hotel Awards winner.” says Anton Perold,
Managing Director for the World Luxury Hotel
Awards.
The evening was MC’d by the captivating businessman
Khalifa Al Haroon, Arabian Business Magazine’s’
“Young Achiever of the Year 2014” and CEO and
founder of Haroon United Group (HUG) which counts
among its stable of companies, ILoveQatar.net, a
website portal that aims to bridge the gap between
Qatar and its large expatriate population. Closing off
the ceremony he invited guests to enjoy the rest of
the evening at The Rooftop, the modern and classy
open-air club/lounge at the St. Regis Doha. Cocktails
and fine champagne were enjoyed, coupled with
upbeat music from DJ Sherif Terio, well into the night.
It was an evening of magic, surprise and energy, and
one not to soon be forgotten!
“We look forward to welcoming our participants at
the Kulm Hotel in St. Moritz on 2 December 2017
for yet another fantastic night of celebration as we
crown our 2017 winners in one of the most beautiful
destinations in the world.” says Perold.
