The hotel is well-known for its high level of service with an attention to details, with personal attention being given to every guest individually by staff trained to the highest standards with a ‘Yes we can’ attitude. “Their love for the hotel has no boundaries and the fondess of their work extends beyond business working hours where they take time out to explore the needs of the guests; and seeing the smile on their faces, is in itself an immense rewarding satisfaction.”
The hotel attracts multinational travellers from all over the world and has enjoyed a steady rise in occupany and is constantly opening its doors for all new business in the city and is thrilled to be part of this gigantic development and flourishing market. “Abu Dhabi is witnessing an impressive growth trends in the years to come,” says Kandil. “It has succeeded in positioning itself on the world's tourism map to be one of the top potential destinations for business and leisure travellers.” All the key elements are combined to create an extremely great place, he says: infrastructure, safety, high standard of living, clean environment, culture etc. with lots of development and long term projects on its way. As a result, the annual growth rate of tourism has increased and is certainly one of the dominating factors and the Millennium Hotel is definitely going to be a significant part of this boom to accommodate the high demand of increasing flow of travellers.

For those new to the Abu Dhabi, it is an emirate of startling contrasts – from the endless stretches of desert, to bustling centres of commerce and wide tree-lined boulevards. Despite the remarkable change from the ruler’s stone forts and scattering of palm huts of 40 years ago, you can still expect the skies to be sunny and the people genuinely friendly!
