HILTON SHARJAH
WHY WERE THEY NOMINATED?
Since its rebranding earlier this year, Hilton Sharjah – which is the first Hilton branded property in the emirate – recorded the highest ever occupancy in the property’s 11 years of operation. The sales and marketing team also changed the bedroom configuration, converting a large number twin hotel rooms to double hotel rooms, thereby capitalising on previously constrained demand. The team also actively worked with Sharjah Tourism to promote itself at regional trade fairs, which helped drive demand in GCC markets.

The hotel also focused on its sustainability program, and is compliant with Hilton Worldwide’s brand average on key indicators of energy, water and waste and was one of the lead presenters at the Hilton UAE Sustainability Summit.
Hilton Sharjah engaged in extensive training programs, while encouraging internal promotions, improving employee accommodation facilities, and helping other Hilton properties in Fujairah, Doha and Dubai during staff shortage.
According to Hilton’s Satisfaction and Loyalty Tracking system (SALT), Hilton Sharjah recorded the highest climb of all Hilton Hotels outside USA, climbing 195 places in the hotel rankings within Hilton Worldwide. In June, Hilton Sharjah also attained the number one position in the ‘Centre of Quality’ system for brand performance, coming out on top of all 13 Hilton hotels within the UAE.
