May 2, 2005 -- Sergio Magnaldi, General Manager of the Hatta Fort Hotel, is delighted with the imminent revamping: "This refurbishment has been specifically designed to enhance the feel
and ambience of the rooms, which will in turn, elevate the property's strategic positioning as Dubai's Exclusive Mountain Retreat. Whilst the Hatta Fort Hotel has always been a popular
destination for couples, groups of friends and families, we are enjoying an increasing amount of business from the corporate sector with regards to conferences and team building
programmes. This refurbishment will further enhance the appeal of this jewel in the Hajar Mountains."
In addition to the upgrading of the chalet style rooms in the east wing, the refurbishment project will entail the re-design of the kitchen, reception area and the Jeema Restaurant.
During this time the Restaurant and reception will operate from the Margham Conference Hall at the property, which offers superb views over the surrounding mountain range.
The Hatta Fort Hotel is situated in the striking Hajar Mountains less than an hour's drive from Dubai. As a complete and Exclusive Mountain Retreat, the Hatta Fort Hotel offers rest and
relaxation with temperature-controlled swimming pools, breathtaking mountain views and various leisure activities such as golf (driving range), clay shooting, field- and target archery,
mini-golf and tennis. The Retreat's close vicinity to the red desert dunes of the Hatta region, The Hatta Mountain Pools and the dried river beds, not only makes it an ideal stopover
point for wadi excursions, but also qualifies the Retreat as a destination in itself.
