Dubai, November 26, 2008 - The Hilton Fujairah Resort, a boutique style property with 103 deluxe rooms, suites and chalets, now boasts a new look following an extensive AED12 million (US$3.3million) refurbishment programme.

The renovation has resulted in the complete overhaul of the hotel premises, and includes refit of all guest rooms, a non-smoking reception, a stylish lobby, well-appointed F&B and leisure facilities, and the added provision of personalised parking places for each chalet.

Victor Louis, General Manager of the Hilton Fujairah Resort, said: "The opening of the resort marks a significant step in our commitment to enhancing and developing our product. Our guests can now experience luxury and excellence in hospitality, whilst enjoying our resort's natural and serene environment."

The new guest rooms reflect a contemporary feel with large bathrooms and walk-in showers, as well as plasma screen TVs,

The fine-dining options have also witnessed transformations with the Neptunia International restaurant, the resort's main dining outlet, sporting a new interior and menu. Additionally, the Octavia Bar & Bistro is now a true cigar lounge with live piano entertainment and of course leather armchairs. FEZ nightclub and Sailor's Beach Bar & Restaurant have had their share of makeover too, providing an enhanced experience to visitors.

Guests will now be able to enjoy extensive leisure facilities including  a brand new Hiltonia Leisure Club, PRECOR branded gym with state-of-the-art equipment, sauna and steam room, new-look swimming pool, and brand new sports complex, diving centre and Nirvana beach massage hut. For children, the resort offers a brand new Kids' Paradise and play area.
