JA Hatta Fort Hotel

Benefiting from the more temperate mountain climate compared to the UAE's low-lying areas, the Hatta Fort Hotel is a popular weekend break location and a frequent destination for motorcycle groups such as the Dubai Chapter of the Harley Owner's Group (HOG).[2]

Facilities

The hotel has two swimming pools, one adjacent the main building and one located in the gardens which is opened to day visitors and families with children. It also has an archery range, skeet shooting, a crazy golf course and a mini golf course. The hotel can organise sightseeing trips[3] and also offers a Winnebago camper for rental.

History

The JA Hatta Fort today maintains some of the features and original decor dating back to its opening (by Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum) in 1981, giving it a somewhat eclectic 'retro' charm.[4] A refurbishment of the hotel in early 2017 saw some of the original features of the hotel lost.[5]

The hotel was designed by architect Ajai Saran for owners Dutco.
