THE Golden Tulip Hotels, Suites & Resorts is expanding its portfolio into Algeria with the signing of its first property in Skikda named Golden Tulip Arc En Ciel Skikda.

The hotel will offer an all day dining, a gastronomic restaurant, a sports bar, a loft lounge and a pool and snack bar. The Golden Tulip Arc En Ciel Skikda will boost a number of quality business facilities including meeting rooms and ballrooms with a maximum capacity of 500 with modern functions to accommodate all meetings and events.
