Garfield Jones, Gulf Hotels Group CEO said, “It is another landmark day in the history of the Group. Since the opening of the Gulf Hotel Bahrain Convention & Spa back in 1969 the Group has been committed to delivering the highest standards of Bahraini hospitality and the opening of Gulf Court Hotel Business Bay is the first step of our regional expansion program. We aim to deliver the same standards of hospitality, food and service that has made the Gulf Hotel such an iconic property in the region and for all visitors to Dubai from Bahrain, we aim to provide a little taste of home away from home. He further stated “I am confident that with the guidance and expertise of Mr. Marc Voller, General Manager, the team will quickly establish an excellent reputation for the hotel.”
“Following in the footsteps of the Gulf Hotel will be a huge challenge” said Marc Voller. “The Gulf Court Hotel Business Bay is fresh, friendly and trendy and we will always aim to deliver what matters most to guests – quality, comfort and value for money”.
