As the Abu Dhabi Grand Hotel undergoes a major face lift process in preparation for its re-launch as Le Royal Meridien Abu Dhabi later this year, guests still choose it as the place to stay in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) capital. The hotel has recorded an occupancy rate averaging 70 percent during the last few months.
"Currently 35 percent of our occupancy is made up of repeat guests, but by this time 2004, we hope to double this figure," stated General Manager of the hotel, Francesco Borello.
Le Méridien is a global hotel group with a portfolio of more than 140 luxury and upscale hotels in 55 countries worldwide. The majority of its properties are located in the world's top cities and resorts throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. The company also enjoys a strategic alliance with JAL-owned Nikko Hotels, providing loyal guests access to an additional 42 properties around the world. — (menareport.com)
