The second Marriott Hotel brand property in Abu Dhabi opened earlier this week. Marriott Hotel Al Forsan, Abu Dhabi is now ready to serve guests and epicureans after months of intensive preparations and construction.

To celebrate the hotel's inauguration, an event was hosted in the hotel premises showcasing the opulence and elegance of Marriott's newest property. Magnificent fireworks display and lively entertainment wowed the guests--which include Marriott's executive officials and the hotel's senior management team.

Before the event, a press conference was held inside the hotel's ballroom, composed of Richard Bleakley, general manager; Rashed Al Qubaisi, general manager, Al Forsan Holding; and Alex Kyriakidis, president and managing director, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International.

"We are extremely proud to have the Marriott Al Forsan Hotel as the first property with our new partners Al Forsan Holding. It represents not only a platform on which to grow our relationship but also to continue the expansion of our brands," Kyriakidis said. 

"Located in close proximity to Abu Dhabi Airport, Khalifa City and Yas, Al Forsan is an incredible master development combining sports, residential and retail facilities. Now the Marriott Al Forsan Hotel will complement the development, and become the heart of the community."

The hotel boasts of a five-star luxury service especially catered to high-profile guests, special dignitaries, and business and leisure travelers. All the amenities and services are of the highest standards, with other special experiences waiting for all guests.

This 400-room property is also equipped with the most hi-tech technology, and six restaurant outlets are located inside the hotel. Dine and relax in the most lavish way possible, and enjoy the services only Marriott can provide.

"As the newest addition to the Marriott Hotels portfolio in the region, Marriott Al Forsan is the prime example of combining innovation and technology to best serve our guests and appeal to their inventive self. As well as challenging their minds, they can also put themselves to the test with the diverse range of sporting and leisure activities that are available in Al Forsan International Sports Resort," added Kyriakidis.
