Inaugural Hotelier Express Awards set for tonight

The inaugural Hotelier Express Middle East Awards is set to take place tonight at the Grosvenor House Dubai, with 13 category winners set to be crowned.

The Hotelier Express Awards are a celebration of the people from one- two- and three-star properties that are making a real difference to the budget and mid-market hotel sector in the Middle East.

In its first year, the Hotelier Express Middle East Awards are the only independent accolades designed to recognise the industry talent working to make the Middle East mid-market hospitality sector so successful.

The shortlisted candidates in the 13 categories were sent to our 7-strong judging panel to choose the winners - who will be announced tonight.

The event will kick off with a welcome reception at 7.30pm, followed by the awards ceremony interspersed with a three-couse meal and beverages, along with live entertainment.

The identities of the winners are a closely guarded secret.
