About Us – a few things about our lovely hotel and team
A Boutique Hotel since 24 years
Hawta Palace Hotel was inaugurated in 1997 by Mr. Alwan Al-Shaibani, the Chairman of Universal Group who is one of the most well-known figures in the hospitality and tourism industry in Yemen. Hawta Palace is the best available hotel in Hadramaut Valley and it hosted thousands of tourists since its opening.
The Old palace building was restored and rebuilt using the same original earth materials and restored to its original splendor. The new buildings (Shibam and Tarim) were designed by a Yemeni architect Mr. Ali Saeed Al-Qubati. The internal finishing and the furniture were designed by a group of Yemeni heritage experts.
Hawta Palace Hotel is directed by a UNWTO-recognised Tourism Industry expert Mr. Marwan Abdullah. The hotel is currently operated by ULC which is a logistics and construction company running many projects in Sana’a like Grand Address Hotel (Formerly Sheraton Hotel), Shahran, and Bir Al-Azab (Under construction).
