Emirates Palace, the luxury Abu Dhabi hotel, said on Sunday that it enjoyed a record year in 2014, surpassing its previous best results seen in 2008.
Despite increased competition in Abu Dhabi, Emirates Palace said in a statement that its December results were its best monthly performance since opening in 2005.
The hotel said that it recorded a steady growth of 8.1 percent in overall occupancy compared to 2013, while the total revenue increased by 8.8 percent.
Financial performance also improved in its newly rebranded Emirates Palace Spa, as well as its restaurants, cafés and banqueting services, which saw an overall increase of 11.8 percent compared to the previous year.
“Emirates Palace remains one of the top performing hotels in Abu Dhabi and the region, and with the increased number of visitors to the UAE expected to rise over the next few years, we are looking forward to continued success,” said Holger Schroth, general manager of Emirates Palace.
“Events such as Abu Dhabi Summer Season, coupled with targeted sales campaigns for the region, brought more visitors during traditionally slow months like August.”
