And the winner is...InterContinental Hotels and Resorts!

Often referred to as the ‘Oscars’ of the global travel and tourism industry, the World Travel Awards are becoming instrumental in increasing international brand recognition. This year, the 167,000 voters consisting of travel tourism and hospitality professionals, gave the title to InterContinental Residence Suites Dubai Festival City. The hotel is the group’s first luxury residences in the United Arab Emirates, specifically designed to cater to the needs of extended stay guests.
