The Marriott Hotel Al Forsan is set in a spectacular sports setting that will provide an elevated and inspired dimension to business travel whether it’s on site team building, large scale events or just offering a totally different relaxation experience once business is done. It offers facilities unlike any other resort and is a unique destination within a destination.”
