A
NOTE
TO OUR
READERS
Dear Readers,
We sprint into the summer months
sponsoring the 12th International
Zayed Charity Marathon in New York
City. Over eight thousand participants
crossed the finish line of the UAE
Healthy Kidney 10K race and our
Chairman Khalaf Al Habtoor, a pound
Emirati, was there to show his support
and enthusiasm.
Team spirit brought great success
to the Al Habtoor futsal squad, we
applauded them for securing a
silver medal in the 2016 NAD Sports
Tournament Championship.
Al Habtoor City reaffirms its place on
the map and has already become a
landmark destination in the UAE. Two
thirds of the Hotel Collection now open
and operational as the City opens its
second hotel, W Dubai - Al Habtoor
City.
Habtoor Hospitality also unveils the
lavish Ritz-Carlton brand in Budapest in
an opening ceremony attended by the
Chairman and dignitaries from across
Europe. We bring you the full coverage
of the event and more from the Imperial
Hotel Vienna, Metropolitan Catering, Al
Habtoor Laundry and last but not least
the Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph
Collection, with a special feature on the
management team, leading the hotel's
rebranding.
Al Habtoor Motors was the talk of the
town launching the all new Bentley
Bentayga SUV.
The heat is building up in the coming
months as our divisions set to launch
much-anticipated projects, stay tuned!
