Dubai has been furnished with a quintessentially British offering with
the opening of the new five star DUKES Dubai hotel on the west trunk of Palm
Jumeirah.
This is the first international property for DUKES, which has proven a
hugely popular destination with GCC visitors in London.
DUKES Dubai, which
soft-opened for training in December, consists of 279 guestrooms including 64
suites, with a ladies-only Liberty Duchess floor featuring 20 rooms, as well as
227 fully furnished hotel apartments and six distinctive dining experiences.
“DUKES Dubai brings
the very best of British hospitality to the emirate. The soft opening of the
hotel in December was a great success and we have already received rave reviews.
We look forward to welcoming visitors and treating them to this unique
experience,” said Abdulla Bin Sulayem, CEO, Seven Tides.
Serving modern
British brasserie-style cuisine, the hotel’s signature outlet Great British
Restaurant (GBR) will operate under the culinary direction of executive chef
Martin Cahill, serving quality British
produce in a dramatic setting overlooking the Gulf. The meticulously planned
menu of much loved dishes includes cod and chips, Lancashire hot pot,
Colchester Oysters and Dover sole, with calorific sweets taken straight from
the kitchens of the Home Counties.
For lighter bites
and drinks, guests can head to DUKES Bar, which is famed for its signature
selection of martinis.
Of course, guests
can also opt to dine at the award-winning Manhattan style grill and bar, West
14th, already located within the same development, whose executive
chef, Clive Pereira, was named Gastronomic Superstar at the Leaders in
Hospitality Awards 2016.
“I currently divide
my time between London and Dubai and it has given me great insight into the
pent-up demand, expectations and trends of British travellers, essentially it
helps me to take the pulse of the British outbound market. I am confident that
our offering will not only match, it will exceed their expectations – brand
loyalty is the key to success for DUKES Dubai,” said Debrah Dhugga,
Managing Director of DUKES Dubai and DUKES London.
The remainder of
the property’s food and beverage outlets will come online within the next six
to eight weeks. This will include traditional Northern Indian restaurant
Khyber, marking the first international outpost for the Mumbai-based family
restaurant group. Visitors can also look forward to the Tea Lounge for
afternoon tea and the Cigar Lounge, offering a sophisticated selection of fine
cigars and malts.
