Every year, Institutional Investor polls senior financial executives from around the world about the best hotels they've stayed in. And every year we release our ranking of the world's best hotels.

This year, we're rolling out those results geographically. We've already released the best hotels in Europe and the best hotels in Asia. Next week, we'll announce the final grouping - the best hotels in America.

This week, it's the best hotels in the Middle East and Africa.

	2	Mount Nelson	Cape Town	89.7
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA	3	David InterContinental	Tel Aviv	87.5
