Radisson Blu opens two new hotels in Abu Dhabi

Upscale hotel brand Radisson Blu has announced the opening of two hotels in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Both landmark hotels hold prominent locations, with the Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Abu Dhabi Corniche located on the iconic sea walk of Abu Dhabi, and the Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Al Ain situated in one of the UAE’s cultural gems, known as the Garden City for its natural springs, plantations and lush palm groves.

Tim Cordon, area senior vice president, Middle East and Africa, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “We’re delighted to begin 2019 in such a positive manner with the opening of these amazing properties in the UAE, arriving under the upper upscale Radisson Blu flag.

“Both properties remain iconic landmarks in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy such unique locations. Abu Dhabi continues to flourish as a destination, with significant investment going into demand generators for the tourism sector – from cultural landmarks to entertainment and leisure offerings. We’re proud to be playing a supporting role in this evolution.”

Khalid Anib, chief executive officer of Abu Dhabi National Hotels, said: “We’re pleased to lead our hotels into their next generation under the globally recognised Radisson Blu brand.

“Both hotels are undergoing extensive renovation works that will see them reach leading standards. Each hotel has its own distinct and attractive offering for both business and leisure segments.

“We’re confident that our guests will enjoy many memorable moments at our hotels, whilst discovering all that Abu Dhabi and Al Ain has to offer.”

Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Abu Dhabi Corniche offers stunning views of Abu Dhabi’s coastline and is ideally located for travellers looking to enjoy its extensive leisure facilities and private beach or explore the city centre attractions.
