Swiss-Belhotel Sohar Beach Oman

(Dubai, United Arab Emirates –It was celebrations all round as Al Batnah Hotels Company SOAC Oman and Swiss-Belhotel International Middle East sealed the deal on Sohar Beach by Swiss-Belhotel at a signing ceremony today in Oman.

The signing ceremony was officiated by Mr Khalid Al Maawali, Chairman of the Board of Al Batnah Hotels Company SOAC, the newly appointed hotel General Manager, Mr Muzzaffer Bulgurcuoglu and Vice President Operations & Development, Swiss-Belhotel International Middle East, Mr Edgar Solenthaler.

The hotel which commenced operations under the Swiss-Belhotel International brand in January earlier this year, is currently undergoing extensions. The additional facilities comprise a further 48 guest rooms (including 8 suites), a 70-seat Mediterranean restaurant with spectacular views of the Gulf of Oman, a new lounge/bar, and extensive meeting and business facilities able to cater for groups of up to 240 people. A new health club, fitted out with the latest in cardio-vascular and resistance training equipment, completes the beach resort’s leisure facilities.

“We are delighted to formalize our agreement with Al Batnah Hotels Company in Oman, and are very pleased that the new extension and refurbishment programme has resulted in a solid four star rating for the resort.” said Mr Edgar Solenthaler, Vice President Operations & Development, Swiss-Belhotel International Middle East.

The Sohar Beach by Swiss-Belhotel resort currently attracts a combination of leisure and corporate business, originating from neighbouring countries. However, the hotel General Manager, Mr Muzzaffer Bulgurcuoglu, adds

“…Europe is growing source market for ‘inquisitive’ travelers who relish exploring the secrets of the destination and learning about Middle Eastern history. Discovering the natural beauty the Sultanate of Oman enjoys is an attraction in itself.”

“We are delighted with the results of the resort extensions which will bring our room inventory to a total of 95 keys comprising a combination of guest rooms, suites and chalets.” said Mr Khalid Al Maawali, Chairman of the Board of Al Batnah Hotels Company SOAC.

“We are pleased to have awarded the management contract for this property to Swiss-Belhotel International who have more than 20 years experience operating hotels and resorts. The team also demonstrates a strong understanding of the Middle Eastern culture and way of doing of business.” he added.

Talking about the appeal of the destination he said,

“Oman is and will continue to be a favoured destination for Gulf travelers. The country is rich in heritage and natural treasures, which is enticing for visitors whether originating from the region or abroad.”

Located on the lush Batinah coast, Sohar was the Sultanate’s ancient capital. Today Sohar is the second largest city, after Muscat in Oman. The destination is known for its beaches lapped by the calm waters of the Gulf of Oman and its proximity to historical attractions and archaelogical sites (including more than 500 forts, castles and towers), as well as nature reserves (including Ra’s Hadd Turtle Reserve and The Arabian Oryx Sanctuary).

“Following the acquisition of our Kuwait property, Swiss-Belhotel by Sohar Beach is our second operating hotel in the Middle East. We are rapidly expanding in the region and have recently announced Swiss-Belhotel Dead Sea Jordan which joins a growing list of agreements in place for hotels in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.”

According to Solenthaler, their Dubai property which will be named Gold Swiss-Belhotel is scheduled to open in Quarter 3, 2008. He says the group has embraced an ambitious and unwavering expansion strategy and has secured a balanced combination of city hotels and leisure resorts for their Middle Eastern portfolio.

“Construction on our new property in Qatar is on schedule and Swiss-Belhotel Doha is slated for opening at the end of September, 2008.”

Swiss-Belhotel International manages 40 hotels and projects, with more than 6,000 rooms globally. Hotels are located in China, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Oman and Kuwait. The group also has a Middle East development office located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and hotels under construction in the Middle East region including Doha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sharjah, Dubai and Jordan.

Rixos Hotels in Middle East

Dubai, UAE: The highly anticipated Rixos Hotels Group has entered the Middle Eastern market following the success of the chain’s existing nine hotels, and requests from worldwide clients and tourism industry professionals. Their first venture is a luxurious resort on the Palm Jumeirah Dubai, designed and built by ZSML Construction, a partnership between SML Construction- a sister company of Rixos Hotels- and Zabeel Investments. Owned by Zabeel Investments, the hotel is set to be the first lavish ethnic-themed resort in the UAE.

The Rixos luxury hotel concept is the brainchild of the Turkish businessman Fettah Tamince and was first launched in the year 2000, in Antalya, Turkey. Mr. Tamince’s vision has always been to expand the brand globally and become an international industry leader without losing the distinguished personal touch that makes Rixos stand out in the sector. All Rixos hotels are designed, built and operated by the Group itself, providing 100% guest satisfaction and exquisite service. The spectacular Hammam concept, developed uniquely by Rixos, is iridescent in bridging old Turkish traditions with modern luxury, making the hotel chain the number one in providing flawless Turkish hospitality. The chain presently owns and operates 9 luxury hotels in Turkey, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, with further hotels set to open in Dubai, Croatia and Austria later this year.

Mr. Tamince, the Entrepreneur and Founder of Rixos Hotels Group and SML Construction companies, said, “We are very excited to enter to the UAE market as Rixos, especially at such a prime location as the Palm Jumeirah. Without a doubt, Rixos will make the distinction amongst the residents of Dubai, as well as all of those who travel to Dubai as an attractive tourist destination. Our concept is different to that of other hotel chains, and certainly unique to this region. I look forward to the opening soon and also to being involved in the bright and buoyant hotel industry of the Middle East.”

Testament to the high standards observed by the Group are the many international awards the hotel has received, including the “TUI Holly Award” and the “Five Star Diamond” from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. Rixos Hotels have also been included in the Top 100 Hotels of the World rankings numerous times and almost all of the resort beaches have been awarded a Blue Flag due to their high quality standards.
