The hotel ranked seventh in the Top Hotels and fifth among the Luxury Hotels category out of the 25 shortlisted hotels. The Traveller’s Choice awards winners were determined based on the reviews and opinions of millions of TripAdvisor.com travellers over the past 12 months around the globe, and are recognised as a direct reflection of guest opinion.
In its 12th year, the awards have identified the most outstanding properties worldwide, in the categories of Top Hotels, Luxury, Bargain, Service, Small Hotels, and Bed and Breakfast (B&B) and Inns.
Hans Peter-Leitzke, Managing Director of Rosewood Corniche claimed that the hotel’s unique Rosewood way of looking after guests, personalised services, and catering to their most discerning requests set it apart from the competition.
Leitzke said: “This award is an acknowledgement of the effort of all my team members and I am delighted to receive it. The Traveller’s Choice awards recognise and celebrate the people who make the tourism, culture, and leisure and hospitality businesses in Saudi Arabia so special. These people make a difference by turning an average visitor experience into an exceptional one.
“In recent years, Jeddah has been positioned as a lucrative business destination. Yet more than a business hub, Jeddah is also the Kingdom’s favourite leisure destination and we are counting more and more holidaymakers and honeymooners from across the GCC and the Middle East.”
In addition to the Traveller’s Choice Award, Rosewood Corniche was also presented the Best Guest Review Award for 2013 by Booking.com, for achieving a score of 8.3 out of 10, and the 2013 Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor.com for the second consecutive year. The hotel was also the recipient of Saudi Arabia’s Leading Hotel at the Middle East World Travel Awards in June 2013, a title held for four consecutive years.
Rosewood Corniche opened in September 2007 bringing a new level of quality hospitality and personalised services to Jeddah. Since then the luxury property has introduced many new concepts to the hospitality industry including specially trained Fragrance Butlers, a seemingly unusual amenity to offer guests a choice of exotic scents, and the Rosebuds programme for young children.
