Andaz Capital Gate Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company’s five-star hotel, has been listed on Condé Nast Traveller (CNT) Middle East’s ‘Hot List 2019: The 15 Best New Hotels in the Middle East’.
Located in the iconic Capital Gate tower, the 188-room Andaz Capital Gate Abu Dhabi offers unsurpassed views of the city and its coastline. The on-site hotel that caters to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre’s business tourism needs was the first Hyatt property in the emirate.
The article described the building with an 18-degree inclination as the world’s furthest-leaning man-made tower, and highlighted the hotel’s impressive commitment to championing authentic, insider experiences in the emirate and shining a spotlight on local artists.
Andaz Capital Gate Abu Dhabi pays homage to its location through incorporating local art that takes guests on a journey through the UAE’s vibrant history and culture. The hotel features a permanent art collection and unique displays of craftsmanship, including Khatt calligraphy and traditional Sadu weaving.
Welcoming guests as they enter the building is 165 Below, an art gallery for emerging local talent, and as they head up to the reception on the 18th floor, they will discover more artworks, including a wall of original pieces by Iraqi calligrapher Wissam Shawkat, as well as an art installation by Talin Hazbar and sculptures by Mohammed Kazem and eL Seed.
The article noted that what could have simply been a standard modern business hotel has instead been transformed into a thoughtful space that genuinely pays tribute to the destination it is in.
ADNEC Group plays a vital role in achieving the emirate’s ambition of becoming the preferred destination for business meetings and events that aligns with the objectives of the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030.
ADNEC’s continued investment in the hotel industry that caters to local and international guests is part of the company’s core business strategy of promoting Abu Dhabi as a leading business tourism hub. In 2018 alone, ADNEC helped generate an impressive 473,454 guest nights for the hospitality sector in the emirate.
