By Jumeirah, PRNEWednesday, December 29, 2010
DUBAI, UAE, December 30, 2010 - Jumeirah Carlton Tower, the luxury Knightsbridge hotel, has been voted as
one of the world's best hotels in Condé Nast Traveller magazine's seventh
annual Gold List - one of only three UK hotels to be recognised for
outstanding service.
The panel of judges cited the hotel's above and beyond service as the
outstanding feature that propelled the hotel onto the Gold List. Feedback
from the panel noted the Knightsbridge hotel (

staff are willing to go that extra mile, from preparing a
private meal for two in the gardens of Cadogan Square to setting up cooking
lessons with the chef.
Chosen by the magazine's editors and travel experts, the Gold List is a
definitive guide to the top hotels worldwide, with properties judged on six
criteria - ambience and design, location, food, rooms, leisure facilities and
service.
Commenting on the accolade, Derek Picot, regional vice president
in Europe for Jumeirah said: "This is an exceptional achievement and I'm
incredibly proud of my entire team who all deserve congratulations for the
part they have played. It is testimony to our ongoing commitment to offer the
very best in luxury hospitality and a great way to prepare for the hotel's
50th anniversary in 2011."

lunch option in the Club Room and Champagne and mouthwatering oriental snacks
