JW MARRIOTT MARQUIS DUBAI TAKES LUXURY TO NEW HEIGHTS
Tallest
Hotel in the World Welcomes Marriott
International President & CEO Arne Sorenson
The JW Marriott brand officially celebrates its newly opened landmark
luxury hotel in the Middle East – the JW
Marriott Marquis Dubai. Acquiring the coveted title of World’s Tallest Hotel
from the Guinness Book of World Records, the 72-storey property is the first JW
Marriott Marquis outside of North America and
the 59th addition to the brand’s global luxury portfolio. A host of
international VIPs, including Marriott International’s President & CEO Arne
Sorenson are in Dubai
this week for the official unveiling.
Soaring at 355 metres (1,164 feet), the JW Marriott
Marquis Dubai is just 26 metres shorter than New York City ’s
famed Empire State Building .
In Dubai , known
throughout the world for its awe-inspiring architecture, the hotel’s towers
have already become an icon on the city’s skyline.
“Dubai is an important
destination for Marriott International, as one of the world’s most exciting
cities offering world-class facilities and infrastructure, a central location
in the region and future growth potential,” said Arne Sorenson, Marriott
International President & CEO (NYSE:MAR). “Our expanding collection of
world-class JW Marriott hotels offers accomplished travellers a one-of-a-kind
luxury experience. The investment in this unique and visually stunning hotel is
testament to the continued opportunities that lie ahead for the brand and
company.”
In addition to serving luxury business travellers, the
hotel, which is owned by Emirates Group, targets the lucrative and increasingly
important MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) market by
filling a long-identified gap in the region. Groups, meetings and conventions
of up to 1,000 people can now meet, stay and dine, under one roof. The hotel is
the first in Dubai
that is able to accommodate large groups and will play a key role in attracting
major conventions and events to the destination. Along with cutting-edge
business facilities, the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai features more than 7,500
square metres of indoor and outdoor event space, including two ballrooms, and a
large selection of world-class dining and entertainment options.
“The opening of this landmark hotel in Dubai is the culmination
of many years of hard work and dedication to delivering the very best product,
facilities and service in this international gateway city,” said Mitzi Gaskins,
Vice President and Global Brand Manager for JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts.
“As our global portfolio continues to grow, we remain dedicated to offering our
guests unforgettable travel experiences with intuitive service, thoughtful
amenities and refined design, celebrating the authentic flavour of each
destination.”
The JW Marriott
Marquis Dubai offers an enticing array of nine restaurants, and five bars and
lounges, including the sky-high steakhouse Prime 68; the experiential sushi restaurant Izakaya; and stunning cocktail bar Vault, which is situated on the
71st and 72nd floors and features panoramic views of the
city. The hotel is also home to Rang Mahal by Atul Kochhar, the
first Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin Star.
The 4,000 square metre Saray Spa and Health Club draws
inspiration from the caravanserai silk route across Arabia ,
with treatments designed to ensure mind and body renewal. Treatments
include the Signature Milk and Honey treatment, an Arabic Coffee Awakener, and
Lemon Mint Body Polish. A sprawling pool deck covers the 7th floor
of the hotel with a 30-metre swimming pool. Aqua Poolside Bar and Grill draws
inspiration from Miami ’s renowned South Beach ,
offering light snacks and beverages throughout the day.
“Conference organizers and businesses around the world
are noticing Dubai ’s
growing influence as a global business hub,” said General Manager, Rupprecht
Queitsch. “We are thrilled to be officially open and believe this iconic new
property will set a new standard in business hotels, not just in the region,
but throughout the world.”
