Klaus
Assmann, Sofitel Dubai Downtown General Manager, said: “In the last five years our
unique blend of local culture and refined European heritage has been a mainstay
in Dubai. At the crux of our success is our incredible team of seasoned
professionals, their commitment and dedication have ensured excellence at every
touchpoint of the guest journey.
“The
Dubai landscape is constantly changing so it is imperative for us to keep ahead
of the curve through innovation and continue to implement it across all our
rooms and F&B offering. The launch of the Coca-Cola Arena, the introduction
of Gate Avenue in DIFC (Dubai International Financial
Centre), and our proximity to established attractions including Burj
Khalifa, Dubai Opera, City Walk and La Mer, will
allow us to maximise our position as the ideal base for entertainment and exploring
the city.”
As
part of the celebrations, Sofitel Dubai
Downtown has launched five new offerings to enhance the world-class facilities.
Located
on the third floor of the hotel, Club Millesime, a newly designed Executive VIP
Lounge with a touch of French flair, offers all
Club room and suite guests the opportunity to enjoy indoor and outdoor dining
areas, a cigar lounge, a living room, a relaxation area with massage chairs and
a private board room.
Over
this summer, the hotel will also be debuting an exclusive floor for female
travellers, Sofie’s Ladies’ Floor, located on the 15th floor will
feature 12 exquisite rooms and suites. Full-length
windows provide sweeping views of Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa and the Arabian
Gulf. Rooms will include several elegant feminine touches
and a host of amenities to enhance the experience and provide added comfort,
service, style and
quality.
Sofitel Dubai
Downtown has also launched Gallery, the latest addition to its event
space. Located on the ground floor and featuring high ceilings, natural
light, contemporary artistic décor and paintings, Gallery offers indoor and
outdoor space, direct access from the street and can accommodate up to 120
guests.
Another
new addition to Sofitel Dubai Downtown’s facilities is the Luxury Le Petit
Prince Family Room. Featuring ample space for two adults and two children,
thanks to the clever introduction of foldable bunk beds, the first city hotel
to offer the configuration. The room comfortably accommodates two adults and
two children below 12 years old. The new room category will be launched over
summer.
Le Petit Prince Kids Club has also been
recently upgraded. Located on the fifth floor of the hotel, the kids’ club
offers indoor and outdoor playground, games, toys and books for different age
groups.
With the introduction of the new family
friendly room category and upgrade of the kids club, the hotel is aiming to
attract more families and become a preferred family destination within Downtown
Dubai.
“We see
several opportunities in the coming years as we look to build on the success
we’ve achieved to date. As the hospitality
market in the region evolves, so does our offering. We will further enhance the
product to ensure we continue to provide an experience and service of the highest
caliber,” added Assmann.
