Accolades include Makkah’s Leading Hotel in Service Excellence and Luxury Cultural Retreat and Luxury Destination Spa
 
 
Saudi - November 11, 2021:  Raffles Makkah Palace, an exclusive all-suite hotel, known for its unmatched views of the Holy Ka'aba, the Grand Mosque, and the Holy City, has maintained its leading position in the Saudi luxury hospitality market while collecting a string of international hospitality and tourism awards.
 
Foremost among these coveted international accolades are: 
• World Luxury Awards 2021 in the categories - Luxury Cultural Retreat and Luxury Destination Spa 
• World Travel Awards Middle East 2021 in the category - Makkah's Leading Hotel in Service Excellence. 
 
Moreover, Raffles Makkah Palace has ranked first on Booking.com in 2021, with a score of 9.0. The hotel achieved this recognition owing to its innovative Emotional Program, which promises to deliver serenity, harmony, and pleasure through its three core pillars - Harmonious Design, Nutrition for Pleasure, and Serenity Rituals, distinguishing it from other luxury hotels.
 
In previous years, Raffles Makkah Palace garnered several honors at the Haute Grandeur Award in the categories - Best All-Suite Hotel, Best Hotel View, Best Hotel Suite in Saudi Arabia, and Best Women’s Spa in the Middle East. 
 
Ahmed Erieba, Hotel Manager for Raffles Makkah Palace, said: “The awards we received reinforce and strengthen the leading role of Raffles Makkah Palace on the Saudi Arabian hospitality landscape, due to our unique and distinctive service. It proves that we are keen to enrich the guest experience in line with the targets of the Raffles Guest Service Program, one of the programs developed to achieve the goals of Vision 2030.'
 
 
Spa 
 
Drawing inspiration from the heritage, culture, and faith of the Middle East, the Raffles Spa is based on the transformation philosophy embodied in the lotus flower in an exquisite and artistic architectural design. The flower is a symbol of kingship in the ancient Middle East and religious perfection in the ancient Far East. 
The lotus journeys from bud through blossom, to the radiance of full bloom, creating beauty and purity at each stage, transforming and enlivening, appealing to every sense. The spa’s treatments are inspired by these three stages of change - bud (body), blossom (beauty), and bloom (full experiences) - and allow guests to mirror the stages of the lotus’ complete transformation. This is done through art, architecture, custom music, tea, traditional food made using local ingredients, as well as aromatherapy.
 
 
Features
With a prime location, just steps away from the Grand Mosque and stunning views of the Holy Ka’aba, Raffles Makkah Palace draws in millions of Muslims visiting Makkah every year. 
 
The hotel is also part of the Abraj Al-Bait Complex, which houses the fourth-tallest freestanding building in the world - the Makkah Clock Royal Tower. The tower, which is 40 meters high, can be seen from 17 kilometers away.
 
Raffles Makkah Palace offers easy access to King Abdulaziz Gate, the main entrance to the Grand Mosque, and provides a unique residential experience.
The hotel has 214 luxury suites with pivotal features such as in-room speakers to hear the call for prayer “Athaan” directly, a 24/7 personal butler service, and four fancy restaurants offering a variety of world-class cuisines, as well as separate spas for men and women.
 
 
Architecture
 
Drawing inspiration from the heritage, culture, and faith of the Middle East, Raffles Makkah Palace integrates modern architecture with Islamic heritage, resulting in a high-level architectural masterpiece. The suites are designed in a lavish and comfortable residential-style, ranging in size from 80 square meters (one bedroom) to 170 square meters (two bedrooms).
