Hatta Fort Hotel transformed into mountain retreat as refurbishment ends

The award-winning retreat is heralding in a new era for city breaks, weekend getaways, corporate meetings, conferences and team building programmes with the array of new and upgraded facilities on offer.

The fully renovated East Wing comprising 24 new Deluxe Chalet-Style Rooms is probably the most impressive new addition. The feel and ambience of the new Deluxe Chalet-Style Rooms, all of which feature a signature balcony or terrace overlooking the Hajar Mountains and manicured gardens, have been complemented with an arresting sense of space and the inclusion of dazzling new décor. The rooms also offer tea and coffee making facilities, bathrobes, hairdryer, mini bar, satellite television and internet connection.

As a Relais & Chateaux property, the Hatta Fort Hotel not only places great importance on the quality of the cuisine, but also the surroundings in which it is served. In this respect the hotel now features a glass-enclosed air-conditioned Café Gazebo where guests can enjoy sumptuous food, a variety of beverages and empyrean mountain views - all within the confines of a cool and airy interior. Café Gazebo has also been extended to produce the Gazebo Terrace which offers outdoor seating in an area ideal for enjoying sundowners and observing superb sunsets. In addition to these, the Hatta Fort Hotel's gourmet Jeema Restaurant has also been revamped, along with the cosy Roumoul Bar.

The new feel of Dubai's Exclusive Mountain Retreat will welcome guests from the very first moment with a new boutique-style reception area emphasising minimalism and guest importance.

Sergio Magnaldi, General Manager of the Hatta Fort Hotel, is delighted with the new look and feel of Dubai's Exclusive Mountain Retreat: 'Each of the new renovations brings its own unique value to the Hatta Fort Hotel. The Deluxe Chalet-Style Rooms are simply beautiful and I have no doubt that they will be very popular among tourists, UAE residents and companies who want to treat associates and guests to an unforgettable experience in the mountains.'

'I am very satisfied with what we have achieved in such a relatively small length of time, and I am sure our guests will share our excitement towards the constant innovation of the Hatta Fort Hotel, although in keeping with the original calm and quintessential charm of this lovely retreat.' Magnaldi continued.

In addition to two temperature-controlled swimming pools, the Hatta Fort Hotel also features several leisure facilities for activities such as clay shooting, field and target archery and mini-golf. In recent years the Abami Activity Centre, which offers full and half day experiential outdoor programmes within the 80-acre property, has become a huge plus for companies considering an alternative team building programme. At its core however, the intrinsic characteristic of the Hatta Fort Hotel still remains its ability to induce relaxation through the secluded atmosphere and stunning views of the striking Hajar Mountains. The Hatta Fort Hotel is owned and operated by Jebel Ali International Hotels, the owner and/or operator of several unique entities in Dubai.
