The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa has been recognised as the Best Business Hotel in Bahrain by Business Destinations Travel Awards. Every year, the Business Destinations Travel Awards, in association with American Express, review and recognise businesses that have positively contributed to corporate travel.
Cities or travel firms around the world that developed and prospered in 2014 were awarded based on their commitment to excellence in quality, customer care and business practice.
Panos Panagis, general manager of the Diplomat Radisson Blu, said, “We are delighted to bring recognition not only to our hotel, but also to the Kingdom of Bahrain as a business friendly destination. Our team, through our ‘Yes I Can’ philosophy and the support of the government of Bahrain, engaged with guests throughout the year to provide the service business travellers deserve.”
The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel caters to all market segments, but is particularly popular with business and conference travellers. In addition to its 367 rooms, The Diplomat Radisson Blu offers 1,500 sqm of fully renovated meeting and events venues, which were reopened in September 2014.
The renovated facilities combine excellent corporate facilities with traditional influences, and cost $6 million.
The hotel’s leading position in the corporate and meeting segment is not only due to its modern meeting facilities but also to the emphasis it puts on food quality and personal interaction. This is demonstrated through the spirit of the employees who strive to deliver that extra touch that goes above and beyond guest expectations; touches that provide guests with a home away from home feeling that is particularly important for business travellers.
“Such a commitment to the satisfaction of its customers means that it is little wonder that the hotel is one of the island’s most popular,” said the general manager. “The faultless combination of traditional style, modern facilities and committed engagement with The Diplomat Radisson Blu’s guests are the secret that keep this hotel in a leading position in the Gulf’s corporate and meeting segment.”
