Hyatt to Operate Five-Star Abu Dhabi Hotel
10/11/2007 1:37:46 PM
Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) announced that the exclusive new 200-room, five-star hotel in Abu Dhabi’s Capital Gate building, adjacent to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, will be operated by Hyatt Hotels & Resorts.

The hotel will open in 2009 and will be the first Hyatt-operated facility in the UAE capital city. According to ADNEC, Hyatt at Capital Centre will be one of the most exclusive hotels in the world. Hyatt currently operates three luxury hotels in Dubai, UAE under the Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt and Hyatt Regency brands.

“On behalf of the UAE Government I warmly welcome Hyatt to Abu Dhabi. Capital Gate is a unique building, which will become famous around the world and as such it was essential that the hotel was operated by an organization, which matched its status,” His Excellency Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nayhan, Chairman of Capital Center and ADNEC commented about the announcement. “The fact that the property has been developed specifically for this project indicates an understanding by all involved that this is not an average hotel, building, or city – this is something unique and very special, which will exceed expectations.”

Gebhard Rainer, Hyatt Managing Director, Europe, Africa & Middle East added, “Hyatt is under a major expansion strategy in the Middle East. We have been monitoring the incredible developments taking place in Abu Dhabi for some time and, for us, Capital Gate is the right building in the right location at the right time. Capital Centre is one of the Middle East’s most significant developments, and I am delighted that Hyatt at Capital Centre is able to play its part in driving this unique project forward.”

ADNEC recently announced that preparatory construction had begun on Capital Gate. When complete, Capital Gate will be 525 feet and 35 stories tall, and in addition, Hyatt at Capital Center, will provide the most exclusive office space in the UAE capital city.

Is there a place to send to Hyatt a recommendation or request for a Hyatt property in my hometown.(a Hyatt Place)

One of my dreams has come true! Now we just need a Marriott in Abu Dhabi. . .

Thanks for the post.

Any update as to which month in 2009 its likely to open? Or indeed if its still on track for 2009 at all? ^

Capital Gate

Asked my diamond rep and she said next year at least.

The website is live at http://abudhabi.capitalcentre.hyatt.com but not accepting reservations.

It doesn't look like it's going to open this year. What brand is this going to be? Park/ Grand/ generic 'hyatt' ?

With 189 rooms total I would guess a Park?

Hyatt actually planned to open a new Park Hyatt in Abu Dhabi as well, but construction got delayed somehow, however the website is still online...

So according to the original plans, this property will be comparable to the Park Dubai.

It looks like the Park Abu Dhabi is actually back in business - Hyatt has put another pre-opening site up:

As versions of over-the-top go, this looks like quite a good one... Certainly not the full-on gold-plated Dubai-style sheikh, rattle and roll that actually kinda terrifies me...

So that makes two curious upcoming Abu Dhabi properties...

I noticed that there are photos of the rooms posted in the new park hyatt:

and in the Hyatt:

Yeah, unfortunately they were both posted as opening end quarter 2010, which seems to now be mid 2011 and early 2011. Looking forward to both!

I asked about these yesterday and both now apparently put back to Q4 this year.

this article lists Oct 15 as the opening date.
