Dubai, United Arab Emirates:– Previously known as Sharjah Grand Hotel, Occidental Grand Sharjah is delighted to officially announce its highly anticipated reopening, launching an exciting new chapter in the iconic property's rich heritage and history. A property operated by Barceló Hotel Group, a leading international hotel chain, Occidental Grand Sharjah is now welcoming guests and visitors, following the hotel's complete restoration and complemented with the implementation of the highest standards of health and safety as per Barceló´s signature We Care About You program.
The property is fully redesigned to reinvent with sleek details, spacious designs, and bright, neutral hues reminiscent of the beachside. From the rooms and facilities to the lobby and outdoor public areas, designers have created a refreshing haven that delivers a captivating mix of culture and modernity.
Néstor Del Toro Benitez, Director and General Manager at Occidental Grand Sharjah, comments, “We are very excited to be reopening the iconic property and officially returning to the market refreshed and revitalized. Our legendary property opens its doors to those looking for a home away from home and a sanctuary of relaxation within the busy city. After a very difficult year, we are looking forward to welcoming new and loyal guests to the newly revamped space at Occidental Sharjah Grand.”
Originally opened in 1977 as Sharjah Grand Hotel, the hotel is a renowned central landmark that holds a legacy that is unique and unforgettable. Located in an exclusive area of Sharjah and home to sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf, the property is set to offer guests new levels of unrivalled comfort and exceptional hospitality with the redefined spaces.
As part of the revamped strategy for the property, Occidental Sharjah Grand will be rolling out a dedicated “#LivingSharjah” programme. The initiative is aimed to engage with Sharjah’s residents and local authorities to promote the city as a business and leisure destination for local residents and international travelers.
Raquel López, VP Sales & Marketing GCC at Barceló Hotel Group, states, “We are thrilled to be a part of the hotel’s relaunching journey. As we embark on a new chapter with Occidental Sharjah Grand Hotel, the renovation and restoration paves the way for the growth of the Occidental brand while staying true to the hotel’s history, and delivering the same level of unparalleled service and inimitable experiences provided by all Barceló Hotel Group properties. As we welcome residents and tourists alike, we are also opening our doors to the Sharjah community, local and government associations through our new initiative in support of Sharjah Tourism.”
Under the Barceló Hotel Group’s We Care About You program, guests can stay with a complete peace of mind. In line with the latest recommendations from experts and international institutions, in terms of safety against viral diseases, including COVID-19, the group has adapted their prevention and hygiene procedures to ensure the utmost safety and well-being of guests, staff and suppliers, at all of their properties.
“Our We Care About You program is a necessary response to the global health situation and it is our responsibility to make sure that all of our guests are kept safe and well during their stay. We have implemented various hygiene protocols for the whole property to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests and staff members”, López adds.
