DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lapita, part of Autograph Collection, Marriott International’s exclusive portfolio of one-of-a kind independent hotels, has been presented with the accolade of Best Family Hotel at the Time Out Dubai Kids Awards 2017. Nestled within Dubai Parks and Resorts – the region’s largest integrated theme park destination – Lapita is an exotic Polynesian haven dedicated to those wishing to stay within a stone’s throw from the myriad of activities on offer at Dubai Parks and Resorts.
As Marriott’s first theme-park hotel, bestowing such a prestigious award within one year of opening is a major accomplishment for the entire team at Lapita. Given the stiff competition and Time Out Dubai’s strict family hotel rating criteria, emphasizing food and beverage quality and variety, family-centric amenities and staff service, it is a tremendous honor.
“I’m enormously proud of everything that we have achieved so far,” said Sanne Emborg, Lapita’s General Manager. “Having won such a notable award serves as a badge of distinction for our hotel, both within the local market and internationally. To receive recognition for our relentless commitment to quality gives me further confidence in our continued success.”
Lapita’s intriguing tribal atmosphere inspires guests of all ages to step into an exciting world of curiosity by activating their passion for adventure and immersing themselves in Polynesian culture. The hotel’s name was inspired by the pre-historic people of the Pacific Ocean and their journey and settlement on the islands - the Lapita movement.
Drawing its inspiration from the exotic Polynesian tropical landscapes, the hotel features colorful flowers, lagoon style pools and luxurious guest rooms. Keep the little ones entertained and amazed with a wide range of themed activities in the Luna & Nova Kids and Teens Club designed to unleash your children’s imagination.
Ola, meaning life, health and well-being, is Lapita’s spa - a true Polynesian sanctuary that allows guests to escape from everyday stress and unwind with soothing, relaxing treatments - an indulgence for the body, mind and senses.
The hotel provides the ultimate destination for family bonding at one of four themed restaurants or its spectacular rooftop lounge. From signature dining experiences to casual alfresco terraces serving a variety of exceptional cuisines, there is something for everyone.
