UAE- based City Seasons Group of Hotels will announce four new hotel projects during ATM, the leading tourism and trade exhibition in Dubai from the 4th of May to the 7th of May.

The first to open during the last quarter of 2010 will be the City Seasons Hotel Muscat. This new five star hotel, adjacent to a new mall, will be the second largest in the city and will feature well-appointed interiors and state-of-the-art facilities including meeting and banqueting space.

This will be followed in 2011 by the Royal City Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi, a substantially sized hotel with 461 rooms and 34 suites located in the heart of the capital.

Bringing the number of hotels in Abu Dhabi to three, the 150 room City Seasons Park Hotel Abu Dhabi is set to open in 2012.

The fourth new hotel to open within the next three years is the City Seasons Hotel Bur Dubai. This 200- room hotel, with its magnificent interiors and unique architecture, will be located in the heart of the shopping and business districts and will be close to metro stations making it ideal for both business and leisure travellers alike.

In addition to these four new openings the group has also just completed phase one of its extensive refurbishment, with 180 modern and stylish rooms and suites complete. It is about to embark on the second phase of the refurbishment transforming the property into an elegant boutique hotel.

“The City Seasons Group has a remarkably established presence in the GCC during the short five year period since its launch and we are working on expanding our portfolio through the addition of new hotels in key destinations” said Thomas Tapken group general manager, City Seasons Group

The group’s portfolio currently includes the City Seasons Suites which is conveniently located opposite Deira City Centre, the City Seasons Hotel Dubai which is just three minutes from the Deira City Centre and the City Seasons Al Hamra Hotel in the heart of Abu Dhabi.

The group’s fourth property, the City Seasons Hotel Al Ain situated in the heart of the beautiful Emirate, is also expanding its inventory from 77 to 89 rooms to accommodate its rapidly increasing clientele from Europe.
