The Salam Standard Premium Hotel Classification scheme rates hotels according to four tiers \u2013 Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum \u2013 considering the number and standard of Muslim-friendly facilities and services they offer.<\/p>\n
For example, at Bronze-rated properties all rooms have a shower and toilet or bathtub and toilet and a prayer mat and praying directions (Qibla\/Kibblat), or they are available on request, whereas Platinum-rated accommodation offers several additional benefits, including halal food that is certified by a recognized body, while the entire premises is alcohol free.<\/p>\n
