Yotels

Yotel is Headed to Abu Dhabi

In the continuing saga of Abu Dhabi’s attempts to remind the world that Dubai’s not the only city in the UAE, there’s been a big announcement: Abu Dhabi is going to get two Yotels.

At least two Yotels, in fact, according to a recently-signed agreement. There’ll be a Yotel at the Airport and a Yotel at the Abu Dhabi City Centre, with the potential for more in the (further) future.

No word yet on when the Abu Dhabi Yotels should get up and running, but the locals are saying they’ll be “just perfect” for Abu Dhabi’s booming conference and business travel market, and for transit stays at the airport. While we don’t personally know anyone who’s ever needed to transit in Abu Dhabi, we can only guess that Yotel’s done their homework … but let’s put it on record that we think it’s a slightly strange expansion step for them.
