At present we have 59 hotels around the world and in the next 2 years we will open another 40.

Antaki, General Manager of Le Meridien Al Aqah<br /> </strong>In the long term it’s going to impact Fujairah in a pretty serious way. Already in the short term, it’s not even built and already people are talking about moving their houses from Dubai to Fujairah because of the differences in rent. If you imagine people arriving here to this hotel, at the Meridien Al Aqah, they have to come through the Dibba side and that takes about an hour and a half time.</p> <p class="feed-readmore"><a target="_blank" href ="">Read More...</a></p> <p><strong><img src="images/stories/top_interviews/le-meridien-al-aqah,-patrick-w.-antaki,-general-manager,-6.7.08-=-cq.jpg" border="0" width="142" height="98" style="margin: 5px; float: left; border: 0px none #000000" />Patrick W.
