THREE of Roya International project managed suites were among The Elite Traveler magazine’s seventh annual ‘101 Best Suites in the World’.
The Jabreen suite at the Shangri-la Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa, Muscat, Oman, the presidential suite at the Shangri-la Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi and the Monarch suite at the Monarch Hotel, Dubai were among other internationally revered hotels in the world distinguishing themselves as luxury leaders.
Elite Traveler Magazine is a private jet lifestyle magazine with an emphasis on luxury travel.
The hotel suites were judged on all aspects that define opulence and style plus amenities, technology and ambiance. Roya International hospitality solutions specialists managed and advised the designers on the behalf of the owners for the overall development particularly regarding the interior design.
For the Jabreen suite at the Shangri-la Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa, Muscat the magazine reportedly favoured the stylised arched entrances and molding with decorative reliefs, and said that these were some of the flourishes that made reference to the suite’s inspiration, a 17th century Omani castle.
The Presidential suite at the Shangri-la Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi was described as, “An up to the moment spin on traditional Arab design elements complete with touchable fabrics in deep, saturated color creates a sense of welcoming formality”. The Monarch’s “Extraordinary options like a private cinema and terrace with plunge pool” was one of the striking aspects which won over the magazine voters.
