First Hyatt-Branded Hotel Opens in Abu Dhabi

The first Hyatt-branded property in Abu Dhabi, the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas, has opened.

 Located on Saadiyat island along a more than five-mile stretch of environmentally protected white sand beach and within minutes of Abu Dhabi’s prime business district and Corniche, the resort caters to both business and leisure travelers alike, offering unobstructed views of the waterfront and Saadiyat Beach Golf Club from its guestrooms and restaurants.

Designed as an urban resort, Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi offers all of the amenities and seclusion of an island oasis, with the attractions of the capital city only moments away.

“Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas is the first Hyatt-branded hotel to open in Abu Dhabi. It will embody our global Park Hyatt philosophy of offering our guests personalized, understated luxury and discreet, attentive service in a stylish and elegant ambience,” said Peter Fulton, Managing Director, Hyatt International, South West Asia. “We will also be the first luxury hotel to open on Saadiyat Island, and are proud of the part we are playing in the exciting Saadiyat story. We look forward to welcoming guests from Abu Dhabi, the UAE and across the world.”

Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi’s 306 spacious rooms, suites and private villas offer guests a secluded and luxurious place to retreat. Each room has a spacious, open-plan bathroom with an oversized stand-alone bath tub and dedicated rain-shower area as well as a spacious balcony.

All wooden elements in guest bedrooms and corridors originate from a mixture of oak and black American walnut from Finland. Guest bathroom features are made from Chinese lava wave marble as well as white marble originating from Oman.

Surrounded by landscaped gardens, the resort’s Beach View, Garden View Suites and Villas offer guests a private, residential ambience and also feature a large terrace with a private plunge pool, rain shower and sunbeds overlooking Saadiyat Beach or the Golf Club.

In addition to the 306 rooms, suites and villas, the hotel also offers a first class array of dining options serving a wide selection of cuisine from around the world: The Park Bar & Grill, The Café, Beach House and The Library.

Resort activities include four generously sized swimming pools, a range of water activities, the Atarmia Spa with nine spacious treatment rooms, outdoor private terraces, fitness facilities, a tennis court and Camp Hyatt children’s club.

 Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi also offers guests an impressive range of meeting venues for any occasion, from exclusive board meetings to large conferences and social gatherings.

The Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority has said that it expects to receive 2.7 million visitors to the region by 2012, with international key attractions such as the Corniche, Emirates Heritage Village, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and the Yas Marina. With plans underway to open a Louvre Abu Dhabi, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and the Zayed National Museum, the island is poised to become a hotspot for the culturally curious.
