Dubai hotel celebrates 10th Anniversary with lavish refurbishment

The Al Bustan Rotana Dubai is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a lavish multi-million dirham refurbishment. The luxurious renovations include a transformation of the entire hotel, combining contemporary styling with classic Arabic and European design, creating a hotel that sets a new benchmark for luxury and sophistication in the region.

“The hotel renovation signifies our commitment to providing our guests with the finest facilities and services possible, and we hope the changes will reflect our dedication to continuously enhance the Rotana experience for our loyal guests,” announced the General Manager of the Al Bustan Rotana Dubai, Detlef Winter.

The changes are apparent as soon as guests enter the hotel, with the lobby crowned with a majestic mahogany dome. Palm trees reflect the hotel’s Arabian heritage, while marble fountains help create an oasis of tranquillity amid the hustle and bustle of the city.

Light cascades down from the skylight above the dome, creating a bright and airy atmosphere, offering a perfect complement to the rich, earthy tones of browns, beiges and mahogany featured throughout the hotel. Further touches of glistening silver add a sparkle to the wooden pillars and fixtures. The magnificent new marble floors and walls reflect the warm brown and beige hues, offering the perfect backdrop to the comfortable leather sofas and chairs adorning the lobby.

Another addition to the hotel is a new Convention Centre featuring 12 executive meeting rooms, with state-of-the-art equipment that can cater for any event or gathering. The meeting and function rooms boast plush new furniture and carpets, surrounded by mirrored walls and doors to create a dynamic environment of spectacular interiors and exemplary services.

The Convention Centre also includes the fully-renovated grand Rashidiya Ballroom that can host receptions of up to 1,500 guests for gala dinners and weddings. The ballroom includes a pre-function area and a private Majlis access area for VIPs. The Convention Centre will truly set new standards for events in the region.

“The Al Bustan Rotana has become a Dubai institution over the past ten years, and we are already well-known as the most sought after venue for weddings and conferences in the region. We hope that this exciting new refurbishment will enable us to cement our position for many more years to come,” said Kaddouri.

“Our state-of-the-art new Conference Centre and improved business facilities will enable us to cater to Dubai’s increasing number of business guests, offering them the highest standards of comfort and luxury within easy reach of the airport and city centre.”

The 275 newly-refurbished, elegant rooms and suites provide the discerning traveller with the utmost in comfort and luxury. The same warm earthy tones found in the lobby are reflected in the rooms, with added touches of burgundy and cream. Along with the opulent new furnishings, the hotel puts an accent on luxury and spaciousness.

All rooms are equipped with modern facilities such as LCD flat screens and high-speed internet connection, and the writing desks in each room have been made larger to accommodate the needs of the hotel’s business guests.

The Premier Deluxe and Royal Suites offer luxurious style and striking elegance with the most advanced facilities, promising a welcoming experience fit for royalty.

Guests are treated to complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails in the exclusive lounge, and can also take advantage of the business and secretarial support services, including internet and fax facilities, meeting rooms, DVD library and sophisticated audio-visual equipment.
