Traders  Hotel  Dubai,  a Shangri-La Hotel, is set to open in April, and is the result  of  a  management  agreement  between Shangri-La International Hotels  &  Resorts  and  Oman-based  Zubair  Corporation.    

The opening of Traders  Hotel  Dubai  follows  quickly  on the heels of the opening of the Shangri-La  Hotel,  Dubai and is the first Traders Hotel in the Middle East region.
Operating   under   the  same  philosophies  and  management  structure as Shangri-La  hotels,  the  Traders brand caters toward a specific mid-market niche  that complements Shangri-La’s deluxe properties in key city centres, such  as  Dubai.   “Our main market is business travellers and the meetings segment.   However during key Dubai events, such as Dubai Summer Surprises, we  also  expect  to  attract  a share of the leisure market,” says general manager, Wolf Flecker.
Located  in  the  bustling  business  and commercial district of Deira, the Traders  Hotel,  Dubai, designed  by  Badri  &  Bensouda  consists  of 250 beautifully   appointed  rooms  and  suites,  food  and  beverage outlets, extensive meeting facilities and much more.
The lobby, with its warm and inviting ambience is expected to form the soul of  the  hotel.   Featuring  The  Junction  (a  trendy 24-hour restaurant), Chameleon  (a  bar  which provides entertainment every night) and the Lobby Lounge,  the  hotel’s lobby provides the ideal place to meet, trade or just socialise.
The  finishing  touches to the hotel are currently in progress.  Guests can expect  to  see  an  interior  which reflects contemporary minimalist style utilising exquisite furnishings, fixtures and design elements.   All of the guest  rooms  feature  broadband  Internet access, IDD telephone with voice mail,  electronic  in-room  locker,  private  mini-bar, iron/ironing board, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities.
Recreational  facilities  include  gymnasium,  sauna/steam  rooms, Jacuzzi, indoor  swimming pool, juice bar and massage rooms.    Other services which will  be available include complimentary entrance and shuttle transfer to a beach  park, same day laundry/valet services, complimentary airport pick-up and  cross-signing  facilities  at  Shangri-La  Hotel,  Dubai  providing an extended selection of dining options.
For  discerning  travellers who appreciate a higher standard of service and facilities,  the  Traders  Club  executive  floors  will  offer  a range of exclusive  privileges  including  the  use  of  a  private  lounge, express check-in   and  check-out  services,  complimentary  breakfast  and purser services.
Flecker comments,   “We have just entered the final phase of the pre-opening plan.   Traders Hotel Dubai will offer   a   vibrant  and  affordable  hotel  solution  for  savvy business travellers.”
