Aloft Abu Dhabi director of sales and marketing Rene Camilleri said the hotel was “delighted with the synergy that Aloft and ADNEC have developed”.
“The fact that we have an occupancy rate of 100% yet again, re-enforces the acceptance the hotel has had since our soft-launch in October,” Camilleri added.
Other hotels, including the Shangri-La, are also witnessing increased occupancy levels around the January Summit.
Shangri-La, Qaryat Al Beri, in Abu Dhabi director of sales and marketing Levent Tekun said: "During the World Future Energy Summit we are expecting occupancy levels over 90% with rates that are similar to those in 2009."
ADNEC business development and investment director Sanjay Tanna said the venue was pleased with the “strong growth” witnessed by major events such as the World Future Energy Summit.
“Events such as this are instrumental in reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a global hub for exhibitions and events,” Tanna said.
“Exhibitors are very conscious of the return-on-investment on their events and it is therefore crucial that any exhibition development provides appropriate accommodation options. Aloft Abu Dhabi provides an affordable option without sacrificing style and design and we are very pleased with the acceptance the hotel has had with the event organisers and exhibitors,” he added.
