Doha Beach Resort Awarded With Best Catering Team in the Middle East

DOHA, QATAR--(Marketwired - Jun 17, 2014) -  The Doha Marriott Hotel is excited to announce that their Events Catering Team has been recognized as being the best of the best in the Middle East! Out of the remarkable 300 properties who entered the Caterer Middle East Awards, the number was whittled down and shortlisted to just five nominations for each category, which included this Doha Corniche hotel. Doha Marriott's Events Catering team had the great pleasure to be selected as Events Catering Team of the Year.

Companies and individuals from countries across the Middle East including the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Qatar attended the awards ceremony which was held at the Ritz Carlton DIFC. The Events Catering Team certainly had stiff competition; however, the hard work and effort that was put into their work paid off. They've achieved the largest increase of guest satisfaction levels across the region for events held by Doha Marriott and Events Catering Team. The Catering Team worked around the clock at the annual Al Shaqab Equestrian competition to cater a staggering total of 40,000 covers during the event. Additionally, this five-star hotel in Doha has increasingly hosted beach parties, music events and cultural celebrations all amounting to a great success.

The Doha Marriott Hotel is known for their restaurant in Doha, Qatar and the catering team is determined to succeed and win, no matter what obstacles are thrown in their path. Their highly experienced team of 15 full time associates has worked to their full potential to create the most memorable experiences and is proud to be recognized as the best Events Catering Team in the entire region of Doha and the Middle East.
