ABU DHABI: The InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) opened two new hotels at Yas Island, Abu Dhabi -- a Crowne Plaza hotel and Staybridge Suites, its first extended stay property in the Gulf. Staybridge Suites Abu Dhabi is located in the center of Yas Island, close to Abu Dhabi International Airport and within walking distance of the new F1 Yas Marina Circuit.
The property offers guests the choice of 164 suites, ranging from studios to two bedroom suites, all with fully equipped kitchens and access to a 24-hour convenience store. Bridging a gap between conventional hotels and serviced apartments, Staybridge Suites offers a home-from-home for people spending long periods traveling on business. Introduced in 1998, Staybridge Suites is one of IHG's newest brands with 167 properties worldwide and 147 more in the pipeline. The tiered rate structure ensures prices are discounted the longer a guest stays, making it a more economical and comfortable option for business travelers staying for more than a few nights, said John Bamsey, chief operating officer, IHG Middle East and Africa said.
