A new five-star hotel will open at Al Forsan Village in Abu Dhabi later this year.

The 400-room Marriott Al Forsan Hotel will be located adjacent to the Al Forsan International Sports Resort, which will provide guests with sporting activities during their stay.

Saif Al Hajeri, chairman of Al Forsan Holding LLC, said: “This addition of a world-class hotel within the Al Forsan Village ecosystem was conceived during the initial design phase of the project, and this will significantly benefit the tourists visiting Abu Dhabi and residents alike.

“Marriott Al Forsan Hotel has a unique advantage as it is one of the only hotels in the country that will also offer the guests with an adventure tourism opportunity due to its location next to the Al Forsan International Sports Resort.”

As well as the 400 guestrooms and suites, the Marriott Al Forsan Hotel will also feature seven restaurants and lounges; a spa and fitness centre; and swimming pools.
