Hilton Worldwide is set to further strengthen its presence in the UAE following the signing of a management agreement with long standing associates, Bin Otaiba Investment Group, to introduce a new Hilton Hotels & Resorts hotel to Abu Dhabi's iconic Saadiyat Island.
The 366-room new-build Hilton Abu Dhabi Saadiyat Island Resort will enjoy a prime location at Saadiyat Beach, one of seven distinct districts making up Saadiyat Island. The hotel is due to open end of 2015.
Rudi Jagersbacher, president, Hilton Worldwide Middle East & Africa said: "I am thrilled that today's announcement builds on our longstanding presence in the UAE, particularly in an area of the country gaining in prominence and prestige. Saadiyat Island is an inspired choice for our latest signing and, once open, will perfectly complement facilities and services at our existing hotels in the capital."
H.E. Khalaf Bin Ahmad Al Otaiba from owners Bin Otaiba Investment Group said: "Our knowledge and experience as a leading regional property developer and hospitality investment company coupled with Hilton Worldwide's expertise as hotel operators underlines the strong and enduring relationship we have enjoyed for a number of years”.
