THE Mövenpick Hotel Gammarth Tunis, a boutique hotel tailored for the business traveller who also enjoys leisure facilities, will soon open offering guests breathtaking views over the Bay of Gammarth and the nearby hills of Sidi Bou Said.
Ideally situated on a pristine beach, the property is set to open early in the fourth quarter of 2010 and will be the second Tunisia location for the company this year following the soft opening of the Mövenpick Resort & Marine Spa Sousse in March.
The new properties reflect the importance Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts attaches to the potential of the blossoming North African market.
“Tunisia is well-placed for economic growth in the coming years as private sector investment continues to rise and business travel is also on the increase. The fact that Tunisia withstood the global financial downturn to increase tourism revenue to €1.8 billion ($2.35 billion) in 2009 underlines why we consider Tunisia as a vital market for our expansion in the region,” said Jean Gabriel Pérès, president and CEO Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.
The Mövenpick Hotel Gammarth has 108 rooms and nine suites offering the highest level of facilities including Wi-Fi internet, air conditioning, LCD TV, mini bar, tea and coffee-making facilities and safe deposit box. Most rooms overlook the spectacular Bay of Gammarth.
Dining and entertainment options include L’Horizon, providing all-day dining and international cuisine.
The Breeze brings the flavours of the Mediterranean, while El Omnia, the Moroccan restaurant, offers guests authentic à la carte North African cuisine.
The Lounge overlooks the bay of Gammarth and is ideal for meeting friends and fellow guests to enjoy an international selection of beverages and Le Gourmet Shop is the spot for savoring international delicacies.
There are also plenty of options for relaxation such as the a golden sandy beach, an outdoor swimming pool, children’s pool, two tennis courts, a modern health and fitness suite and the 1,834-sq-m spa with its indoor heated swimming pool, wide selection of treatments and authentic hammam bath.
And golfers will delight at the Carthage 18-hole course, only 15 minutes from the hotel.
A multipurpose ballroom is available for events and celebrations, accommodating up to 250 guests, and there are three interconnecting meeting rooms each with capacity for 40 guests with access to the resources of the state-of-the-art business centre.
