Hilton Hotels & Resorts, a global hospitality brand, has opened the Hilton Capital Grand Abu Dhabi following a refurbishment and rebranding programme, making it the brand’s second property in the UAE capital.

The hotel will add an additional 281 rooms to Hilton Worldwide’s growing 3000+ UAE room total.    
Hilton Capital Grand Abu Dhabi is a visually stunning, curved glass property located close to Abu Dhabi International Airport as well as the city’s National Exhibition Centre and in the heart of Abu Dhabi’s new Capital District.

The hotel’s corporate facilities include a 700-capacity grand ballroom and separate 500-capacity function room, five large meeting rooms, two boardrooms and a complimentary business centre.

A luxurious and spacious spa offers 15 treatment rooms, sauna and whirlpool, a 24-hour fitness centre and an indoor and outdoor pool.  The hotel also features seven different bars and restaurants, all serving a wide range of international cuisine and offering panoramic views of the city.

Rob Palleschi, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts said: “The opening of our second Abu Dhabi hotel continues the outstanding 40-year legacy the company’s flagship hotel brand has enjoyed with the UAE.  With so many new striking features, the hotel is set to become an exceptional example of the high standards, quality and unrivalled experience guests expect from the region’s pre-eminent international hospitality brand.”

Described as an ‘architectural masterpiece’, the all-glass curved wave design of Hilton Capital Grand Abu Dhabi defines the exterior of the property giving the hotel high visibility and iconic landmark status.

Rudi Jagersbacher, president, Hilton Worldwide Middle East & Africa said: “Today’s announcement is particularly timely with all economic indicators suggesting Abu Dhabi is enjoying an exciting phase of visitor growth.

“This strategy, implemented by the local tourism authority, provides the perfect foundation for the hospitality sector to prosper and upscale hotels such as Hilton Capital Grand Abu Dhabi will, in turn, help strengthen Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a key global business and leisure destination.” – TradeArabia News Service
