It was another successful year at the Hotelier Middle East Awards last night for Media One Hotel, Dubai, with Mark Lee named General Manager of the Year.
One year ago Media One walked away with Hotel Team of the Year, and this time it was Lee who went up to collect his award from Canon Middle East.
Shortly after coming off stage at the ceremony, at InterContinental Dubai Festival City, he spoke to Hotelier Middle East.
"I'm very humbled to be honest and very proud to be acknowledged among such a great group of peers in the industry," he said.
"I’ve got a great team and this award I dedicate to all of them. Without them we wouldn’t have a successful business."

Judges noted that Lee had increased his hotel’s GOP every year since he joined and had also had a major impact on staff engagement.
"I get a kick out of running successful businesses," Lee added. "I love creating dynamic teams. The ambition is to be happy and healthy. We’ll see what happens in the end."
For the Highly Commended nominee, the judges selected Doris Greif, recognising the mark she had made at Jumeirah at Etihad Towers.
The other nominees in the category were Stefan Viard from Vida & Manzil Downtown Dubai, Salem Al Shahrani, from InterContinental Jeddah, and John Hazard from Doha Marriott.
The Hotelier Middle East Awards were supported by Du, A. Ronai, Restonic, MLA, Diversey, Arecont Vision, Canon, MMI, TCL, Horeca, Patchi, Pulsar Foodstuff Trading, Amir, and Julius Meinl.
