Entrepreneur
and interior designer Jalal Al-Yawer comments: “Design is a true
passion of mine and with Xanadu I wanted to create a bespoke brand
synonymous with genuine quality, attention to detail, good food,
charming comfort, relaxing ambience and a cool and trendy
atmosphere”.
“I
have been fascinated with Coleridge’s poem Xanadu - Kubla Khan ever
since I came across it in my literature lectures and I am delighted
that I have been able to capture the essence of this poem and
transform it into a property which combines oriental and exotic
elements with modern features. Hotel Xanadu will offer a truly
unusual and special experience for all our visitors,” Al-Yawer
continues.
Within
close proximity to Heathrow and with an underground station
on the doorstep the hotel is ideally located for business travellers
and tourists. Each room offers a relaxing atmosphere, inspired by
countries along the silk route with art, design and artefacts
carefully selected to represent life and culture from each region.
Hotel
Xanadu will also bring Koobla Bar & Restaurant to Ealing, which
will be open to both hotel residents and the general public. “The
word Koobla is a variation of Kubla (Khan) and a homage to
Coleridge’s poem. The Koobla Bar & Restaurant will be part of
Hotel Xanadu, but also a stand-alone destination”, Al-Yawer
concludes.
The
Koobla restaurant
menu is inspired by the Silk Route and represents
the unusual cuisine and spices that Marco Polo enjoyed on his 24 year
journey through Europe and Asia – each dish has been interpreted by
Koobla’s chef for today’s traveller-in-spirit. The cocktail menu
has also been designed to complement the exotic dishes with matching
flavours and spices from the Far East to the Mediterranean.
Xanadu
also offers an intimate library room, which is ideal for private
dining, social gatherings or short business
meetings and events.
Room
rates start from £150 for a Double and £200 for an Executive
Suite.
All rooms are equipped with spacious bathrooms, flat screen satellite
TV,
direct dial phone, coffee & tea making facilities, hairdryer and
free Wi-Fi access. Guests are also invited to hire a complimentary
iPad or bicycle during their stay.
