After winning the Circle of Excellence in Business Development award for 2016 across Hilton hotels in Europe, Middle East Africa (EMEA), Inayat Ramjean, Director of Business Development, has added another laurel with Jeddah Hilton achieving the recognition for the best market share performance/the highest RevPar Index (RPI) premium, across Hilton hotels in Europe, Middle East Africa (EMEA).

“I remain determined (to see) that Hilton continues to be the market leader in Jeddah. We will be delighted to set another record for Jeddah Hilton by targeting an RPI of 200, in 2018. Work hard, dream big and make it happen,” Ramjean said.

He added: “Jeddah Hilton’s strong performance is primarily due to its facilities, features and its location. With all our rooms having balconies, most of them facing the Red Sea, it’s a destination within a destination.”

The new Jeddah waterfront, a colossal project, Ramjean said, “will surely help us consolidate our market positioning. The new waterfront attractions, which span an area of 730,000 square meters along 4.5-km coastline on the Red Sea, has three new beaches for swimming, 25 huts, 100 washrooms and a 125-meter dock stretching into the sea. A real delight for our guests.”

He said: “Let’s not forget the Waldorf Astoria Jeddah — Qasr Al-Sharq , adjacent to the Jeddah Hilton. There are good hotels, then great hotels, and then there is the Waldorf Astoria Jeddah — Qasr Al-Sharq, where you enter a world of palatial opulence and experience the legendary personal service for which the Waldorf Astoria is globally renowned.”

Ramjean explained: “This palace-hotel epitomizes extravagance. Pure gold, handpicked crystal and porcelain, exquisite mosaics, cultured marble, the finest art... Luxury is in the details. We have suites which are 1,000 square meters, and come with massage tables and private gyms.

Waldorf Astoria Jeddah — Qasr Al-Sharq continues to be the venue for world leaders and members of royal families.”
