Gearing up for a promising summer season, the Mafraq Hotel has established a “Summer Escape” package of special rates valid from May 15 to September 30 set to attract UAE residents during the hottest months of the year.

The 120-room 4-star deluxe hotel, located minutes from Abu Dhabi’s two main golf courses, offers a full range of indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, and according to hotel manager Khaldoun Habach, provides an ideal mini-holiday.

“We offer a full-service resort atmosphere with added extras such as close proximity to popular golf courses and shopping malls,” he said.  “Only 20 minutes from Abu Dhabi’s city centre and one hour from Dubai, Mafraq Hotel is a quick drive to an excellent vacation.”

Rates start at Dh200 net for one night (two adults and up to two children under 12 years), and the summer package price is inclusive of buffet breakfast; a 50 per cent discount on food and beverage applies for children under 12 years of age.  Guests receive two complimentary drink vouchers upon arrival and daily mineral water in the room.

At the hotel, guests have access to a volleyball court and squash and flood-lit tennis courts as well as a full gymnasium, billiards and table tennis.  Add in a barber shop for that quick trim, an Internet café to keep in touch and an appetising collection of restaurants, and Mafraq Hotel becomes the ideal getaway without giving up all the comforts of the city.

“When the mercury rises, Mafraq Hotel offers a quick retreat for rest and relaxation.  Stay for a night, or for the weekend: and you can be as active or restful as fits the bill,” said Habach.

Mafraq Hotel is managed by Danat Hotels & Resorts, a division of the National Corporation of Tourism & Hotels based in Abu Dhabi.
