The Medina Serviced Apartment Group scored three major awards for excellence at this year�s Hotel Motel and Accommodation Association Awards, sponsored by AAA Tourism, the official star ratings body of the Hospitality Industry.

In a significant benchmark win, Medina Grand Sydney took out the �Best Corporate Accommodation Sydney Award� placing the CBD property well ahead of Sydney�s leading corporate 5 Star hotels.

The group also won in the �Best Serviced Apartment� category with Medina Executive Sydney Central and �Best Corporate Accommodation Sydney Rim� with Medina Executive Coogee - the latter another win against well established, rival hotel and motel competitors.

The three awards, judged by industry peers in a hotly contested environment, not only confirms the superiority of the Medina �product� in each of the above categories but also recognises excellence in their overall operation � from housekeeping to staff training and motivation.

The Medina Group now operates 18 properties across Australia with 2 new properties expected to open mid 2004 in Perth. end
