Former Abu Dhabi palace relaunches as luxury hotel

Global hospitality management chain Swiss-Belhotel International said on Monday it has continued its expansion in the Middle East with the launch of Swiss-Belresort Ghantoot, a converted palace in Abu Dhabi.

Swiss-Belresort Ghantoot is a heritage building on the shores of the Arabian Gulf that was originally built as a palace for the Abu Dhabi ruler, the hotel operator said in a statement.

Gavin M Faull, Swiss-Belhotel International chairman and president, said: “Swiss-Belresort Ghantoot is a prized addition to our portfolio. It is a wonderful, venerable property.

“Swiss-Belhotel International is in the midst of an exciting period of growth in the Middle East, with three more hotels set to be launched before the end of next year. And our growing footprint there is matched by our global progress.”
