ABOUT THE CHEDI AL BAIT SHARJAH UAE
The name “Chedi Al Bait” refers to “The Home” in Arabic. True to its name, the hotel makes you feel at home away from home. Located in the heart of Sharjah, this 5-star hotel offers incredible service, following the best practices of the hospitality industry.
There is a unique history to the Chedi Al Bait hotel. The building where now this hotel is located was once occupied by Sharjah’s local families. The preserved historic structure coupled with new compounds pays homage to the culture of the UAE.
The Chedi Al Bait is comprised of five former heritage houses which were owned by influential families of the UAE. GMH (General Hotel Management Ltd) converted those houses into 53 guest rooms and suites. These houses include Bait Eissa Al Midfa and Ibrahim Al Midfa heritage house.
Aside from the residences, the hotel boasts a spa, a gym, a library, a cigar lounge, a museum, a shop and event spaces.
The hotel has also been featured in Travel + Leisure’s 2020 list of the best new hotels in the world. The accolade is made even more remarkable because Chedi Sharjah was one of only two Middle East-based hotels to make the prestigious list.
