Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts Launches Spectacular New Hotel and Resort in Yanbu
Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts recently celebrated the opening of its newest Saudi property, the only 5 star hotel and resort in the port city of Yanbu, 300 km north of Jeddah.
The widely-acclaimed new Mövenpick Hotel & Resort Yanbu, with a total of 201 rooms, was introduced during a soft opening held in September 2009, and combines a unique location, an ingenious design and a magnificent view.
"We have quickly become the centre of business meetings and major events in Yanbu," says general manager Khaled Habbab. "In addition, we now offer some of the most sought-after recreational facilities in the Western Province."
Strategically located within the residential area of the Royal Commission, directly on the shore overlooking the Red Sea, the hotel and resort offers 141 rooms ranging from Junior to Royal Suites; 12 luxurious duplex villas; and 48 individual apartments; all feature a complete range of luxuries and amenities, as befits this landmark property.
There are two main restaurants: Radwa, the hotel's primary international restaurant; and Al Mourjan, specialising in the freshest of sea foods. Six conference rooms are equipped with cutting-edge audiovisual technology, and a versatile banquet hall can accommodate over 1,000 guests. Dedicated support teams from the Mövenpick Meet & Dine programme are ready to make sure any event is a total success.
"Our guests are spoilt for choice when it comes to recreation," continues Habbab. "To begin with, there's our spectacular infinity or zero-edge pool overlooking the sea. We also have our own private, sandy beach, and a well-equipped marina where you can set off for a day of diving, fishing, snorkelling or just relaxing. In addition, we have a superbly-equipped gym and fitness centre.
"Our unique architectural design means every guest enjoys maximum privacy, and an unobstructed view of the Red Sea," he concludes. "With every imaginable comfort here, including an on-site bank, book shop, gift shop, sport and diving shop, travel agency, rental car service and barbershop, you really won't want to leave."
