Malibu Beach Inn was honored with the 'Remarkably Uncommon Award' during The Leading Hotels of the World's 2019 annual Membership Awards, which was one of six awards in various categories recognizing member hotels for their relentless commitment to premium guest satisfaction, outstanding leadership and unprecedented passion to deliver unmatched hospitality experiences.
The esteemed awards mark the finale of the three-day Annual Convention event, which brings together the owners, managing directors and general managers of the more than 430 independently-owned, international luxury hotels and resorts within the collection.

The Remarkably Uncommon Award is bestowed upon a Leading Hotel for story-worthy guest experiences through innovative service and creative team engagement. It is an incredible honor to not only be nominated, but to be recognized with this award by our brand. Malibu Beach Inn has been a passion project for myself and my amazing owners, Simon and Daniel Mani, however the award is truly a team award and I excitedly share this with them, said Gregory Day, general manager of Malibu Beach Inn, and president of hospitality for Mani Brothers Real Estate Group. This global portfolio of extraordinary hotels and resorts is something we are so very proud to be associated with and are honored to be in the company of the other nominees and winners, for whom we congratulate as well.
