Swiss-Belhotel International continues its rapid expansion in the Middle East with the opening of Swiss-Belhotel Corniche, Abu Dhabi. 

The 20-storey business hotel offers sweeping sea views from many of its 189 rooms and suites. Rooms are comfortably large, starting from 42sqm and contain a separate seating area and work station complete with dual-line extension telephones, IDD and PC connections.

Three meeting rooms and a ballroom with a capacity for up to 300 guests are available for business and private functions. Ideal for seminars, gala dinners or private conferences, each banquet room is fully equipped with a range of modern facilities. The hotel also boasts three outstanding restaurants and cafes serving a selection of Middle Eastern and international cuisine, as well as a rooftop gym and a swimming pool.

“It’s been a long-held ambition of Swiss-Belhotel International to have a property in Abu Dhabi but it was always a matter of waiting for the right hotel, which we’ve found with this attractive, distinctive offering,” says Swiss-Belhotel chairman and president Gavin M. Faull. “We will inject our brand of professionalism and passion into the hotel [and] I am sure it will be a great success for many years to come. It’s a very exciting time for Swiss-Belhotel International as we expand in the Middle East and we look forward to further growth in this dynamic market.”

The addition of Swiss-Belhotel Corniche Abu Dhabi brings Swiss-Belhotel International’s portfolio in the Middle East up to eleven hotels and projects, following the most recent addition last year of Swiss-Belresort Ghantoot. The other operating hotels are Swiss Belhotel Seef, Bahrain, Swiss Belhotel Plaza Kuwait and Swiss Belhotel Doha, Qatar. They will be joined by Swiss-Belinn Ghurbrah Oman, Swiss-Belhotel Riyadh, Swiss-Belboutique Riyadh, Swiss-Belhotel Stenden Doha, Grand Swiss-Belhotel Batumi Georgia and Swiss-Belhotel Erbil, Iraq by the end of 2016 for a total of eight hotels. www.swiss-belhotel.com
