HotelTravel.com Takes Chequered Flag for Final Formula One 2009 Race in Abu Dhabi
Attention all Formula One fanatics: The Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the last chance to get a F1 fix in 2009. Formula One motor racing is all about speed, power, noise, money and glamour. So HotelTravel.com is pushing its pedal to the metal by offering brilliant value-for-money hotel deals in the United Arab Emirates . . .
Phuket, Thailand, October 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- HotelTravel.com is ready to take the chequered flag for the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on 1 November, highlighting fantastic deals on accommodation in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Formula One is associated with opulence and excess so what better location to hold the concluding race of the 2009 season than on a brand spanking new race circuit built by an oil rich country with the focus on impressing the world. Although tickets to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix are not especially expensive, and only the Main Grandstand area is sold out, many Abu Dhabi hotels have been booked months in advance.
According to Chief Information Officer, Olivier Dombey, HotelTravel.com is offering Formula One fanatics a magnificent selection of United Arab Emirates hotels, particularly for hotels in Dubai.
"A Formula One Grand Prix is one of the world's most prestigious sporting events, in the same league as the Olympic Games or the World Cup, and is unrivalled in terms of continuous global resonance.
"Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven Emirates that make up the UAE, and will provide an idyllic location for the event. With over 200 natural islands, offering some of the most untouched beaches in the region, it is fast becoming one of the most sought out Middle East destinations on HotelTravel.com.
"The company is delighted to offer fabulous hotel deals in Dubai on the website, where F1 fans can enjoy tremendous savings on accommodation compared to other areas of the UAE," Mr Dombey, added.
He noted that this race was also historic in that it will be Formula One's first ever day-night race, starting at 17:00 local time. Floodlights used to illuminate the circuit will be switched on from the start of the event to ensure there is a seamless transition from daylight to darkness.
The Yas Marina Race Track is located on a man-made island off Abu Dhabi's east coast — and the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be the first event to take place on the circuit. Abu Dhabi won the rights to host a Grand Prix from 2009 until 2016.
Spectators will enjoy high speed action played out on three distinct sections of the 5.6km circuit, including high speed areas ending in tight overtaking turns, a street section and a marina section. Each section of the circuit combines to deliver an unrivalled viewing experience.
For hotels in Bur Dubai consider the Seashell Inn Hotel (from US$ 79 per night), York International Hotel (from US$ 84 per night), Ascot Hotel Dubai (from US$ 93 per night), Royal Ascot Hotel (from US$ 116 per night), Highland Hotels Dubai (from US$ 125 per night), Four Points by Sheraton Bur Dubai (from US$ 140 per night), Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa (from US$ 181 per night) or the Movenpick Hotel Dubai (from US$ 193 per night).***
For Deira hotels log on to HotelTravel.com and have a look at the Panorama Deira Hotel (from US$ 68 per night), Nihai Hotel (from US$ 77 per night), Residence Deira by Le Meridien Hotel (from US$ 104 per night), Al Khaleej Hotel (from US$ 119 per night), Coral Oriental Dubai Hotel (from US$ 142 per night), Lotus Boutique Hotel (from US$ 157 per night), Holiday Inn Down Town Dubai Hotel (from US$ 179 per night) or the Manhattan Avenue Hotel (from US$ 181 per night).
Jumeirah Beach hotels offer the advantage of being slightly closer to both the Yas Marina Race Circuit and the beach. Hotels worth a look include Golden Tulip Al Barsha Hotel (from US$ 137 per night), Metropolitan Hotel Dubai (from US$ 169 per night), Coral Boutique Hotel Apartments (from US$ 207 per night), Crowne Plaza Hotel Dubai (from US$ 254 per night), Dubai Dusit Hotel (from US$ 266 per night) or the Sofitel Palace The Old Town (from US$ 367 per night).
Yas Island isn't just about the Grand Prix; it is a place of world firsts. Take for example the world’s first Ferrari theme park, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, featuring the world’s fastest rollercoaster. For those seeking more excitement, the Warner Brother’s theme park and Yas Water Park will help quench the thirst for spills and thrills. Golfers can experience several championship-quality golf courses or for visitors who like the maritime lifestyle, the island is dotted with six marinas.
***All hotel rates are as of 16 October, 2009, priced in US$ and subject to change.
