Hamra Hotels & Resorts, a leading hotel developer and operator in the region, has announced that the soft-opening of its latest property, Acacia Hotel, has been ardently welcomed in the market with corporate and individual bookings for long-term and short-term stays pouring in.
Sean Halliday, General Manager of Acacia Hotel, Hamra Hotels & Resorts, stated: “We are actively approaching all free zone and non-free zone businesses in Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman and Sharjah, as corporate travellers of these companies can benefit from our concept the most. For example, for an organisation in Hamriya Free Zone Acacia Hotel is only 25 minutes driving time away, without facing any traffic, whilst offering very competitive rates. In addition, Acacia Hotel is a very agreeable alternative for weekend retreats, family getaways or holidays – providing services and facilities of a 5 star property, but at a much lesser price. We can see from the incoming bookings that our concept has hit the mark, and we are targeting 100% occupancy by the time we go fully operational.”
Nikolaos Chatzipetros, VP Operations, Hamra Hotels & Resorts, added: “We are currently working on some very nice ideas and incentives to attract more and more interest and to provide our valued guests with the best possible service and options. For example, a concerted concept of international themed dinners for each day will be introduced in Al Manzil Restaurant for a perfect business dinner suiting a reasonable budget or for an indulgence in various cuisines from around the world. The calorie intake can then be trained away in the Oxygen Gym, danced away in the Beryozka Night Club or alternatively ‘misremembered’ whilst relaxing in the O-Zone Spa. Acacia has all the ingredients for a very successful operation with an ideal location, an elaborate business concept of great facilities and services at an amazing rate, unrivalled synergies with sister hotels and the beautiful emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. We welcome everyone to come for an orientation tour through the hotel or to have a look at our brochure and to be in touch with us for any questions or enquiries. Getting to know more about Acacia Hotel, one will appreciate the charming character and unique flair of this beautiful hotel.”
Acacia Hotel is scheduled to be fully operational by mid February 2010. Final touches are currently being made in the rooms and outlets, whilst the team undergoes constant training for a continuous improvement process during the soft-opening. Hamra Hotels & Resorts expects a smooth and successful transition into complete operation.
