New Address for Both Business and Leisure as the Coral Hotel Dhahran Readies to Open
HMH - Hospitality Management Holdings has announced the pre-opening phase of the Coral Hotel Dhahran, its eighth Coral property in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which will be launched by the end of the year.
- Alexandria, LA (1888PressRelease) August 15, 2011 - The 153-room deluxe 5-star is strategically located in the Aramco district of Dhahran, adjacent to two of its principal malls and the Aramco museum in the heart of the central business district. The luxurious hotel is designed to reflect the diversity of the clientele, offering exceptional meeting, dining and leisure facilities.
The hotel offers a variety of rooms and suites, including smoking and non-smoking, equipped with the latest technology, wi-fi access, indulgent amenities and 24-hour room service.
According to HMH president and CEO, Michel Noblet, the new hotel fills a gap in the network of Coral Hotels & Resorts in key cities throughout Saudi Arabia: "We are delighted to be working with Al Omaier Trading in opening the Coral Hotel Dhahran, a property that offers both an ideal location and outstanding facilities for the visitor to the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia."
Owner Mr Nasser Ibrahim Al Omaier welcomed the near completion of the hotel and the opportunity to partner with HMH in creating a new address for business and meetings in Dhahran: "The hotel has already surpassed our expectations in delivering outstanding standards with the fit-out of the rooms and public areas, and we look forward to the official opening and the launch of the Coral Hotel Dhahran as a landmark in the city."
General manager Rushdi Al Ashkar said he expected the hotel would attract around half of its visitors from outside of Saudi Arabia, with the GCC making up the majority of the overseas traffic.
"We have budgeted to build occupancy slowly, reaching 50 per cent within three months with corporate business making up two-thirds of guests, up to 28 per cent leisure and around seven per cent made up from long-stay guests," he said.
"As we become established, I would expect to gain further business from the wider Middle East and Europe, but the local market will remain our priority - and with the Coral name well-known through the Kingdom, this will help cross-sell our hotel."
For corporate guests, the hotel features four meeting rooms with a capacity for up to 100 delegates as well as a ballroom that can cater for 250 people for a reception.
Other facilities at the Coral Hotel Dhahran include all day dining at Al Nafoora with a choice of buffet or a la carte options, the specialty Indian restaurant Rasoi, Rumours Café, and the Gym and Tonic health club
"With both business and leisure facilities, as well as a guarantee of outstanding service the Coral Hotel Dhahran will bring a new level of hospitality to the area," concluded Al Ashkar.
