The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi Lets Visitors Access Custom Menu Offerings

The service is reflective of the Ritz-Carlton's brand values and is a guest offering that embodies luxury and convenience. In addition to letting consumers access its directory of in-house chefs and wait staff, the Ritz-Cartlton Abu Dhabi will also provide a housekeeping staff following events, ensuring a clean up that is seamless and hassle-free.

"The idea behind the launch of our off-site catering division was to bring the full Ritz-Carlton experience to the guest's venue of choice," says Robert Zellner, the hotel's Director of Catering and Conference Services about this new venture. Appealing to lovers of luxury, this hotel-themed catering service targets both tourists and Middle Eastern locals who seek flexibility and results when planning their next event.
