Crowne Plaza Unveils Autumnal Getaway Offer

Groups well catered for as seasonal celebrations fill the calendar
Dubai - From 1 October 2006 until 4 January 2006, InterContinental Hotels Group is offering special weekend getaway rates at its Crowne Plaza properties seven days a week.

The 'Autumn Weekends' rates are valid at 11 Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts throughout the Middle East, including Oman, Jordan and the UAE with packages starting from as little as US $58 per night including breakfast.

With the seasons ahead packed full of events including Eid, Burns Night, the Dubai Rugby Sevens tournament and New Year, the Crowne Plaza promotion provides an affordable and attractive opportunity for friends and family to meet at high quality venues.

While friends taking breaks together for Eid will enjoy the diverse mix of dining options on offer to suit all tastes, family groups can take advantage of complimentary accommodation and breakfast for children under 12 when sharing their parent's room.

For those in search of a true escape to a city by the sea, the Crowne Plaza hotel in Muscat, Oman offers the solution. The stunning harbour and authentic old souk are thriving tourist spots and both are real draws for couples and family groups in particular.

To capatalise on the Crowne Plaza Muscat 's unique cliff-top location, a private beach development has been added, which stretches the hotel's upmarket five-star service beyond the lush green surrounds and down to the water's edge.

Set in 10 acres of lush landscaped gardens, the hotel has 200-plus elegantly appointed and refurbished rooms, including larger twin and double rooms as well as luxurious in-room amenities such as higher quality bedding and personal espresso machines.

Heading further North, Crowne Plaza Resort Petra in Jordan opens the door to an entirely different getaway experience, allowing visitors to discover 9000 years of history. A popular destination with tour groups, couples on romantic getaways and history enthusiasts, the hotel is only steps away from the entrance to the siq and the old city with its world famous archaeological sites.

The Crowne Plaza Resort Petra is set against a breathtaking view of the Petra Mountains and all rooms were renovated earlier this year.

Friends in search of a lively break should check into the Crowne Plaza, Dubai. The food and beverage outlets are among the most renowned and popular social venues in the city and the hotel maintains is position as a premiere hotel in the UAE not least through its prime location on Sheikh Zayed Road.

A stay at Crowne Plaza Dubai offers fun-loving friends unrivalled access to the city's fast-paced social scene, as well as the vast array of attractions and amenities that are developing and diversifying on a weekly basis.
