Three Sixty revolving restaurant at the Torch Doha has received a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence award.

The accolade, which honours hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding guest reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide.

Only the top-performing 10% of businesses listed on TripAdvisor receive the award.

To qualify for a certificate of excellence, businesses must maintain an overall rating of four or higher, out of a possible five, as reviewed by travellers on TripAdvisor, and must have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.

“The Torch Doha is honoured and humbled to receive the 2013 Certificate of Excellence for Three Sixty restaurant top performance. The award is evidence that our hard work is translating into positive reviews on TripAdvisor. We will focus on maintaining our service standards at a superior level and offer our guests a memorable experience,” hotel manager Sherif Sabry said.

TripAdvisor’s business marketing vice president Alison Copus said the Certificate of Excellence award “provides top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those who matter most - their customers.”
