InterContinental Hotels Group and Aldar Properties, the UAE’s second-largest real estate company by market value, developed Crowne Plaza Hotel and Staybridge Suites on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Notably, this marked the first introduction of the serviced apartment concept in the UAE.

Strategically located in the heart of Yas Island, both properties offer convenient access to key attractions including the Formula 1 racetrack, championship golf course, and world-renowned theme parks.

The four-star Crowne Plaza consists of 430 hotel rooms along with conferencing and banqueting space, among other amenities, and 7,500 sqm of landscaped gardens. The hotel also features a fitness centre, golf course, pool, spa, parking and transport services.

The three-star six storey Staybridge Suites comprises 164 studios and serviced apartments, underground parking facilities, hotel amenities, and a swimming pool, providing superb extended stay facilities in the Emirates’ playground.
The hotels play a major role in the continued development of the Abu Dhabi hotel and hospitality sector, with our team delivering all MEP and structural designs for both properties.
