Gavriel, Director of Sales and Marketing at Al Faisaliah Hotel and Hotel Al Khozama. “Flawless, personalised service is a cornerstone of our hospitality philosophy, and we work constantly to raise our levels of excellence and exceed guest expectations.”
“Our win at the Kingdom Hotel Expansion Awards underscores our standard-setting role in the industry, with leading figures in hospitality creating the selection parameters and ultimately distinguishing Al Faisaliah Hotel above all others in the category,” Gavriel added.
