ADNEC and Starwood Hotels join hands to launch the first Element hotel in ME

Abu Dhabi, Aug 4, 2008 (WAM) - Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, and Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC), have jointly announced the launch of new Element hotel in Abu Dhabi - the first to be introduced in the Europe, Africa and Middle East division.

The new Element hotel is scheduled to open in 2011 at the prestigious
Capital Centre development in Abu Dhabi - a business and residential
micro-city including a state-of-the art exhibition centre, a 2.4km marina
development, and a gravity defying, iconic feature tower known as Capital
Gate. Element will showcase 36 studios, 144 one-bedroom guest rooms, and 90
two-bedroom units, a restaurant, swimming pool and fitness centre ideally
suiting the business and leisure traveller. Adjacent to the exhibition
centre and close to the marina, the hotel will be easily accessible from all
points.
Each Element hotel is infused with natural light, featuring a 16-foot window
wall in the lobby and oversized windows in each guest room providing
sightlines to the outdoors. Biophilic design 'literally meaning the love of
living systems' is the art of bringing the outside world in and natural
colours and patterns are reflected in the Element rooms and public space
design and furnishings.
