Formal opening of Premier Inn Sharjah
Action Hotels, the leading owner, developer and asset manager of branded three and four-star hotels in the Middle East and Australia, is pleased to announce that its first hotel in partnership with Premier Inn is now officially open.
Premier Inn Sharjah, a 168-room freehold hotel located in the centre of Sharjah, opened on 12 August 2015 and has welcomed its first paying guests with early business enquiries encouraging. Following a delay in its opening due to the resolution of power and snagging issues the hotel is now fully operational.
Action Hotels' track record of early operational profitability sees most hotels breaking even within their first 3 months of operations. Management expect Premier Inn Sharjah to follow this trend, with the Premier Inn brand expected to drive occupancy from the day of opening.
Alain Debare, Chief Executive Officer of Action Hotels commented,
"I am delighted that Premier Inn Sharjah is now open. The hotel enjoys a superb location in the heart of Sharjah and is the first internationally branded economy hotel in the Emirate. We are confident in the hotel's future success. Sharjah is well positioned for both leisure and business travel and is a hub of culture and activity, having been named Arab Tourism Capital for 2015."
Adam Nicholls, Managing Director for Premier Inn, Middle East commented,
"We are delighted to be working with Action Hotels and are really excited to be able to bring the Premier Inn brand to even more customers across the Middle East. We have a fantastic team who are looking forward to welcoming customers to Premier Inn Sharjah and delivering our promise of a great night's sleep, at affordable prices."
