Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi will be celebrating its one-year anniversary, commemorating the first time it opened its doors on December 21, 2011.
“Throughout the year, the hotel is seeing an exciting growth in overnight guests from 107 different nationalities,” said Ashwini Kumar, general manager of Hyatt Capital Gate. “The hotel had a steady start and grew at a pace. Formula One, ADIPEC, and SIAL made November our finest month since opening.”
Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi has received worldwide recognition from various TV shows, such as Mega Structures (National Geographic), the Discovery Channel and TV Canada. Closer to home, the property has featured on Abu Dhabi Week TV (Etihad E-BOX), Millions of Poets and Dubai One.
Guests rate the hotel as “outstanding” on hotels.com with a score of 4.8 out of 5 and “fabulous” on bookings.com, with a score of 8.8 out of 10. Furthermore, the property is currently ranked number nine of 100 hotels in Abu Dhabi on TripAdvisor.com.
Since opening, the hotel has constantly found new ways to exceed guests’ expectations through authentic hospitality. As a result, 18 Degrees’ (18˚) employees were recognised as “the most memorable staff” in the Time Out Abu Dhabi alternative food awards.
Not only does Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi welcome worldwide guests, the hotel feels it has a responsibility to help those that are less fortunate and contribute to the common good in Abu Dhabi. Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi aims to support various organisations, such as Abu Dhabi Cause Connect, by donating Iftar to labour camps during Ramadan, as well as Ewa’a, a shelter for women and children which were victims of human trafficking, by raising funds and providing education to help the affected reintegrate into society.
Currently, the hotel is in the auditing stages for receiving the ISO 14001 certification, which identifies the hotel as an environmentally friendly business entity.
The hotel is an iconic symbol representing Abu Dhabi, where the Capital Gate tower, has earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for its 18 degree lean - more than four times that of the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.
