Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 3rd May 2011:

Al Faisaliah Hotel, A Rosewood Hotel, was re-affirmed as the most
luxurious hotel in Saudi Arabia when the five-star property’s newly
opened Al Faisaliah Hotel-South was named “Saudi Arabia’s Leading
Luxury Hotel” at the annual World Travel Awards in Dubai last night
(Monday).

The award-winning Al Faisaliah Hotel also earned recognition for its
superior event amenities, winning “Saudi Arabia’s Leading Conference
and Banqueting Hotel” for 2011.
With the largest column-free
banquet and meeting space in the Kingdom, Al Faisaliah Hotel offers
the most flexible venue space for corporate and social events, and is
the venue of choice for global conferences, summits and high profile
events.

Owned by the Al Khozama Management Company (AKMC), a
leading luxury commercial property development, investment and
management company in the Kingdom, Al Faisaliah Hotel has earned
more than 24 international awards for excellence since it opened 11
years ago, and is recognised worldwide for its unrivalled personalised
service, exceptional quality and attention to detail.

Al Faisaliah Hotel, A Rosewood Hotel set a new benchmark in
luxury accommodation in the Middle East with the official opening
of Al Faisaliah- South earlier this year. The $50 million property
development adds a contemporary, but no less luxurious, style to

the prestigious Al Faisaliah Hotel, offering discerning travellers 106
luxurious and spacious premier rooms and suites, an exceptional new
culinary offering in La Cucina and a much anticipated Ladies Spa,
scheduled to open later this year.

Receiving the World Travel Awards on behalf of the company, Peter
Finamore, Managing Director of Al Faisaliah Hotel said: “Receiving
two World Travels Awards is a great honour for Al Faisaliah Hotel,
A Rosewood Hotel and recognises the hard work and exceptional
commitment to excellence that our entire team in Riyadh put into
every working day.
This international recognition inspires us to
continue delivering the best in all we do to maintain the unrivalled
reputation we have created.”

AKMC scooped a further World Travel Award for the company’s five
star Al Shohada Hotel, in the holy city of Makkah, which earned the
