Hyatt Hotels has announced the opening of the first property under its Grand Hyatt brand in Abu Dhabi.

The Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel & Residence Emirates Pearl combines iconic brand elements and awe-inspiring design and architecture with a central location in the capital that offers easy access to world-class shopping, dining and cultural events.

The property is set to become an iconic and sought-after venue for both local and international visitors alike.”
