Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi and just 20 minutes from the airport, Novotel Abu Dhabi Al Bustan opened its doors today (March 16).

The four-star, 361-room hotel has six food and beverage outlets, seven meeting rooms, a ballroom, plus recreation and wellness facilities.

Major business hubs and tourist attractions are at close proximity, making it the ideal spot for both business and leisure travellers, said a statement.

Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, Zayed Sport City, Sheikh Zayed Mosque and Abu Dhabi Golf Club are all within easy reach.

General manager Dominique Mercier said: "We are delighted and excited to have opened the hotel, reaching the next chapter in our ongoing journey to deliver high quality accommodation for our guests."

"Choice is also important, and guests can now choose based on the duration of their stay. The Novotel brand is synonymous with providing exemplary four-star, short-term accommodation, whilst for longer stays we will soon have the Adagio hotel apartments," said Mercier.

The complex will also have the first Adagio hotel apartments in the Middle East. Adagio Al Bustan is set to open in the second quarter of 2014 and will be connected to the Novotel through a series of enclosed footbridges. - TradeArabia News Service
