Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City today announced it was named the #2 Top Meeting Hotel in the Middle East & Africa by Cvent. The globally recognised Cvent Top Meeting Hotels lists properties that set themselves apart by delivering outstanding MICE experiences through thoughtful event planner collaboration, exceptional service, and tailored event offerings. Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City’s strategic online presence attracts event planners by appealing directly to their unique needs and expectations, ensuring the property is at the forefront of critical MICE business opportunities in the region. Rankings are determined based on robust sourcing and request-for-proposal (RFP) activity through the Cvent Supplier Network, one of the world’s largest venue-sourcing platforms. This year, Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City has been recognized as a Cvent Top Meeting Hotel.
With 16 state-of-the-art meeting spaces including the grand Al Joud Ballroom (1,425 sqm) accommodating up to 850 guests, Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City has cemented its status as a premier destination for corporate events, exhibitions, and social celebrations. As part of Dubai’s first integrated urban destination, the hotel offers seamless access to expansive event venues, more than 1,600 rooms and suites, diverse food and beverage options, and exclusive lifestyle experiences like the X-Golf Middle East simulator, perfect for post-conference networking.
The property’s meeting facilities feature flexible layouts, cutting-edge AV technology, and a dedicated team of event specialists ensuring flawless execution.
“This recognition reflects our unwavering dedication to delivering world-class events in a setting that inspires. From large-scale conferences to bespoke executive retreats and memorable milestone celebrations, we offer more than just space but a platform to create unforgettable moments,” said Mr. Soufiane El Allam, Complex Operations and Commercial Director at Al Habtoor City Hotel Collection.
“Achieving a spot on the Cvent Top Meeting Hotels list is a prestigious honour that highlights a hotel’s ability to engage planners and deliver superior MICE and corporate event experiences,” said Graham Pope, Cvent Vice President, and Hospitality Cloud. “In today’s highly competitive, often uncertain environment, it’s critical that hotels attract high-margin MICE business by prioritising RFP responses and putting the planner first. Attendee expectations are higher than ever, and resource-constrained event organisers want to collaborate with hotels and venues that understand exactly what they need to bring their vision to life. The properties recognised this year have set a high standard for excellence. Congratulations to Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City on this outstanding accomplishment.”
