Among them is Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi which will launch a Facebook competition on August 22 offering the public a chance to win a weekend stay for two at the hotel. 


“For us, Holiday Inn’s 60th is a celebration of the firsts that have kept our hotels fresh, and the brand so popular. Here in Abu Dhabi, it’s also a great opportunity for us to share the excitement with our community and regular guests, and celebrate our own firsts,” said Balwinder Kaur, director of sales and marketing, Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi.


“This is the first time I have stayed at any hotel for such a long duration. On an average, I would stay at a hotel for not more than two weeks. But given that the staff is friendly and helpful, the service is good and the rooms are always clean and tidy, I am happy!”, said Taufic Dandachi, a guest at the Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi since 2010.

Sushil Dhakal, revenue manager, Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi, added: “Holiday Inn’s 60th is a chance for us to share these firsts and invite others to experience what keeps our regular guests coming back time after time."
