Even though the hotel has launched its serviced apartments just this year, the hotel was awarded "Saudi Arabia's Leading Hotel Residences" for the new high level of serviced apartments that the hotel provides in Riyadh.

Accepting the awards on behalf of Burj Rafal Hotel Kempinski, Hotel General Manager Juan Uribe said: "Being recognized as "Saudi Arabia's Leading Hotel" and "Saudi Arabia's Leading Hotel Residences" by way of important and prestigious awards such as from World Travel Awards is an proof that we have become a landmark in Riyadh hospitality, even despite the fact we opened only two years ago." He added: "I would like to dedicate these awards to my colleagues at the hotel who showed a strong and beautiful performance."
