Flagship hotel gets grand Dubai opening

A NEW luxurious hotel has opened its doors to guests in Dubai as the country’s tourist numbers continue to soar.

Address Downtown, the flagship hotel under Emaar Hospitality Group’s premium lifestyle Address Hotels + Resorts brand, features over 200 rooms and suites for guests to enjoy.


The hotel will also feature state-of-the-art restaurant choices and a world-class spa.

Olivier Harnisch, the CEO of Emaar Hos­pitality Group, said the latest venture holds a “very special place” in the hearts of travel­lers and guests. “Working with world-lead­ing designers and consultants, the all-new Address Downtown ushers in an excep­tional lifestyle choice and sets new stand­ards in luxury hospitality,” Harnisch said.

“The hotel will continue to uphold its dis­tinctive positioning of ‘where life happens’.”

With 63 levels, guests can choose from 16 appointed room and suite choices.

The hotel boasts an array of eateries, in­cluding The Restaurant at Address Down­town, designed in the style of an avant-garde French apartment, and the Lounge, which serves an assortment of dishes in­cluding a la carte meals and afternoon tea.

Located only 15 minutes from the Dubai International Airport, the hotel is in walk­ing distance of The Dubai Mall and directly overlooks Burj Khalifa, an iconic skyscraper in the city centre. It is the tallest building in the world, overtaking Taiwan’s Taipei 101 in 2008.

According to recent statistics, the num­ber of tourists in Dubai increased by 3.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.
