Hotel owner, Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (Adnec) and operator, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide have confirmed that they will assist the city during the UAE's most important ever sporting occasion, by welcoming guests to the hotel from Sunday October 25th, thus providing a valuable increase in the hotel capacity of Abu Dhabi.
Main construction began on the Aloft Hotel in November 2008. In the subsequent eleven months Adnec, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, architects RMJM, main contractor Arabtec and all construction partners have worked diligently to develop one of Abu Dhabi's largest hotels, in terms of capacity.
Yves Queromain, RMJM Architects Project Director, said, "We are extremely pleased with the final results of this project. Its exceptionally efficient delivery can be put down to the meticulous planning implemented throughout all stages of the project development. Our strategic approach has ensured that the quality we are known for resonates across all aspects of the hotel."
From October 25th the Aloft Hotel will bring a brand new lifestyle concept in hotels to the capital, targeting the niche market of today's forward thinking business travellers by offering a quality, designer product which is affordable with a focus on accessible technology, comfort and convenience.
The Aloft Hotel, which is connected to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, is 20 minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi and 15 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport. It will serve the Adnec visitors and exhibitors but is also anticipated to become a regular destination for young affluent residents of Abu Dhabi searching for new and stylish outlets.
