Release Summary: Emirates Hotels & Resorts announce the renaming
of the Emirates Marina Hotel & Residence, their first city-based
hotel -The Harbour Hotel & Residence
Press
Release Body: Emirates Hotels & Resorts’
first city-based hotel, Emirates Marina Hotel & Residence
has been re-named The Harbour Hotel & Residence.
The
52-storey luxury property, a USD 141 million investment for Emirates
Airline’s luxury hotel division, formally opened
its doors in November 2007. The re-branding which officially took
effect at the start of the year will be applied to all communication
channels, external signage and operational items over the next few
months.
Located
at the gateway to the Dubai Marina, The
Harbour Hotel & Residence boasts easy access to
Dubai’s prime leisure and commercial districts. The Marina
boulevard teeming with cafes, shops, and entertainment facilities;
the popular Jumeirah beach; and the Mall of the Emirates,
Dubai’s most fashionable mall are within easy reach, as are
prime commercial centres, Dubai Internet City; Dubai Media City;
and Jebel Ali Free Zone.
Tony
Williams, Vice President, Emirates
Hotels & Resorts said: “Since 2005 when
we first announced our plans to develop a city-based hotel at the
Dubai
Marina, the waterfront development has been at the centre of
a construction boom with many new projects being branded under the
name ‘Marina’. The presence of several Marina-branded
properties is likely to cause confusion among first-time visitors.”
“Re-branding
our property as The Harbour Hotel & Residence
allows us to maintain a distinct, individual identity while at the
same time retains the essence of the Marina waterfront development
in the hotel’s name.”
“We
have communicated the re-branding campaign to our partners in the
travel industry, and are currently assisting them to update their
promotional material,” added Tony.
The
Harbour Hotel & Residence features 261 large suites
offering choices of 24 spacious studio rooms, six one-bedroom, 170
two-bedroom and 55 three-bedroom suites, as well as six penthouses.
Ideal for Dubai’s frequent visitors that have both business
and leisure, and even family travel requirements, the suites are
equipped with luxury fittings and separate lounge and dining areas.
The
hotel offers innovative approaches in its restaurant concepts. Counter
Culture is a street-level, New York style Deli, Coffee Bar and Bakery
rolled into one. The Mediterranean style restaurant, Az.u.r,
features menus with a variety of organic dishes, as well as health
and diet produce. The Observatory, the hotel’s flagship restaurant
located on the 52nd level and due to open later this year, is an
international, slightly avant garde restaurant. A place to see and
be seen, the restaurant offers arguably the most stunning views
of the Gulf, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Marina.
The
Harbour Hotel & Residence is part of Emirates Hotels & Resorts,
the airline’s premier hospitality management division containing
a portfolio of luxury conservation-based resorts and spas. These
include the award-winning Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa
in the desert hinterland of Dubai; Wolgan Valley Resort
& Spa in Australia; and Cap
Ternay Resort & Spa in the Seychelles.
The
expanding portfolio of Emirates Hotels & Resorts includes
its next major opening –The
Green Lakes Serviced Apartments due to open in May
2008. Located within the Jumeirah Lakes Towers, this property will
feature 283 fully-serviced apartments with views over the Emirates
Hills’ golf club.
