Armed Forces Officers Club & Hotel to Have a Dedicated Stand at Arabian Travel Market

Exhibiting at Arabian Travel Market on a dedicated stand in the hotels section in the Sheikh Saeed Arena at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Armed Forces Officers Club & Hotel (AFOCH) will be reinforcing its unique sports, convention and accommodation features to the travel trade.

The five-star complex, located near the landmark Grand Mosque and just five minutes’ drive from the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, 15 minutes away from from Abu Dhabi airport has 600 rooms including 64 suites, plus seven restaurants and lounges.

According to Mr Peter Freeman, Deputy Director General of the Armed Forces Officers Club & Hotel in addition to extensive premium accommodation options, the hotel has two exceptional elements that can be used by the travel trade to sell the complex to visitors to Abu Dhabi.

“We have some of the most extensive meeting facilities in the region, including a Club Garden with space for 10,000 at al fresco events, the Abu Mousa Hall that can cater for up to 2,000 in a cocktail set-up, a cinema with capacity for 185 and a theatre seating 650 with advanced audio/sound and video projection systems – as well as a variety of other rooms and halls that can be customised to suit all requirements from the MICE market,” he said.

“With 600 rooms and suites, we can also offer on-site accommodation for groups, while our leisure facilities are second to none, including two gyms, indoor Olympic swimming pool, squash courts, aerobics hall, bowling centre, multi-purpose hall, martial arts stadium, outdoor football, tennis, paintball, track and field and multi-purpose courts, plus ladies health club, private pool and spa, and the Caracal Shooting Club.

The AFOCH operates a series of sporting and family events throughout the year, ideally suited to regional families looking to keep children of all ages entertained, he added.
