FOLLOWING its launch in January, as the first five-star property to open in Deira for more than a decade, the 216-room Mövenpick Hotel Deira is setting its sights on being the new favoured eatery for the local area north of the creek.
The new venue has opened three outlets, each carefully crafted to offer great food that is memorable, different and comfortable – on the palate, the pocket and in ambiance.
First off of the drawing board is Jigsaw (pictured) - the hotel’s answer to all-day dining which general manager Michael Nugent highlights as a ‘buffet with a difference’.
Dishing up the difference, Jigsaw includes a retro-styled rotisserie that not only roasts chickens, kebabs, and more – it also looks good, adding style to the already comfortable décor.
Meanwhile, the Wok-In Restaurant & Bar duo offers a multi-faceted dining and entertainment experience.
“With the influence of Asia at its core, the Wok-In Restaurant menu encourages the use of live cooking from the outlet’s central station, as well as a selection of dishes cooked kitchen-side,” said Nugent.
As well as its determination to court the dining market, the new property is also keen to establish its Mice credentials with special delegate packages such as book 10 room nights and meet for free.
Nugent said: “We have seven meeting rooms and they have been treated to up-to-the-minute interior design and technology. Indeed, the technical spec is excellent with the latest push button screens and more. Plus, we have included free Wi-Fi in all Mice packages.”
The meeting facilities are located within a dedicated section of the property, complete with an integrated reception and seating area for meetings, private luncheons or a celebration for up to 90.
“The Mice facilities have received really positive feedback. Event planners have said that they really like the fact that the meeting rooms have a dedicated pre-function area, as well as access to a large terrace, all in the same area,” added Nugent. “Indeed, we have made some interesting set-up combinations, particularly for the larger of the rooms which can cater for just under 100 people in one large area, or be divided into three.”
