Starwood Hotels & Resorts which runs Sheraton Doha Resort & Convention Hotel recently held Iftar with taxi drivers across the Middle East at the hotels that the group operate as part of its ongoing commitment to the holy month of Ramadan.Now in its fourth year, Starwood’s ‘Iftar for cabs’ campaign brought more than 34 hotels from across the region including Sheraton Doha Resort & Convention Hotel together for a cause. During the hour of Iftar, packs of food and beverages were distributed to cab drivers at the main entrance of each hotel, including in Doha. Catering teams at each hotel prepared Iftar packs which included a diverse selection of food and beverage items. Associates from departments within the hotels joined forces to bring the initiative to life.“Iftar for cabs is our way to say thank you to the cab drivers across the Middle East. This initiative is now in its fourth year and represents the spirit of the Holy Month of Ramadan. We are extremely proud of all our associates who came together yesterday to make this year’s ‘Iftar for cabs’ another big success and I want to thank them for their continued support.” said Guido de Wilde, senior vice president & regional director of the Starwood Hotels & Resorts.
