October 25, 2010 - Nasser Al Reefy, Restaurant Manager at Rosewood Corniche, the Kingdom's premier hotel, won the Outlet Manager of the Year award for his work in running the hotel's celebrated Asian restaurants Ginza I Chome and Noodles, both of which offer exemplary levels of quality cuisine, service and atmosphere and enjoy expansive views of the Red Sea.

“Under Nasser's management, our Asian restaurants are now considered the premier dining destinations in Jeddah and he continues to act as a figurehead of our successful Saudisation policy to develop and nurture local talent,” said Hans-Peter Leitzke, Managing Director of Rosewood Corniche.

“We receive consistently positive feedback from our patrons and staff about Nasser's performance in the hotel and we believe his hard work and commitment had a direct correlation to Rosewood Corniche being awarded Saudi Arabia's Leading Hotel in consecutive years in 2009 and 2010. His win in the Hotelier Middle East awards is a just recognition of his dedication, hard work and guest relations”.

In the three years that Rosewood Corniche has been operating, Noodles has become a firm favourite among family diners in the Kingdom. The restaurant prides itself in the delivery of freshly prepared dishes featuring hand-pulled La Mian noodles in the open show kitchen which creates an interactive and educational experience for diners.

Ginza I Chome is a regular spot for Jeddah's VIP community, many of whom enjoy the Omakase concept - a Japanese term meaning “entrust the chef”. In the open-show setting, chefs fully embrace the importance of performance and Japanese cooking while the dishes which they suggest to guests are artfully prepared and plated before an audience.

Holding a Diploma and Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality Management from the American College in Dublin, Ireland, Nasser is continuing his professional development by working through the Rosewood employee programme in conjunction with a management course from Harvard Business School.

Designed for both business and leisure travellers, Rosewood Corniche is ideally positioned on Jeddah's Corniche, one of the city's most impressive districts. The celebrated Jeddah Corniche runs parallel to the Red Sea for over 20 miles and provides convenient access to the city's business and leisure areas.

As Saudi Arabia's leading hotel, the stunning Rosewood Corniche redefines modern elegance and offers unparalleled personal service and world-class amenities, including 24-hour butler service for each of the 127 guest rooms and suites.
