Rezidor to open The Regent Emirates Pearl in Abu Dhabi

the UAE capital Abu Dhabi. Scheduled to open in 2010, the hotel will offer 365
rooms and 70 furnished apartments and bring a new era of contemporary style and
personalised service to the emirate - being a coastal landmark on the South West
of the city's signature Corniche.
“Abu Dhabi is a welcome addition to our expanding UAE portfolio”, comments Kurt
Ritter, President & CEO of The Rezidor Hotel Group. “Tourism in Abu Dhabi is
currently undergoing a major transformation and will soon become one of the
region's top business and leisure destinations. It's important that Rezidor is
part of this development.”
The Regent's 47-storey silhouette of twisting glass is designed by Austria's
award-winning architect Dennis Lems. The modern interior is conceptualised by
MKV Design LTD of London and inspired by the rich heritage of Abu Dhabi. Guests
will benefit from an exclusive beach club with private beach access, an indoor
and outdoor pool, a health club and a spa. Besides several restaurants and bars,
the hotel will comprise extensive banquet and meeting facilities.
The complex is owned by the Atlas Group (UAE), and is a joint venture project
