FOR the business traveller living out of a suitcase for extended periods, staying in unfamiliar surroundings while adjusting to different time zones can have a negative impact on health and wellbeing. To address the imbalance caused by frequent travel. Fraser Suites Dubai has introduced a range of services that place an emphasis on restoring vitality, promoting relaxation and maintaining a healthy diet when away from home.
David Brown, general manager of Fraser Suites Dubai, a luxury 158 suite hotel apartment complex situated on Sheikh Zayed Road, says that the demands placed on business travellers who are connected 24 hours a day means there is almost no down time. “We constantly see tired travellers who maintain a punishing work schedule yet leave little time for themselves.
In response we have introduced our Lifestyle Advantage service offerings specifically designed to cater these guests”.
In partnership with Awazen Spa, the in house dietician can conduct a personal consultation to assess general health and outline a sensible diet. Guests can combine with treatments extending from a range of therapeutic massages, a stress busting hammam or even a full weight loss program. Aqua Café, Fraser Suites Dubai’s all day dining outlet recently launched a new menu featuring a selection of healthy options with dishes made from organic produce and others with a low GI to target health conscious travellers who may otherwise be tempted by a delicious though less healthy gourmet hamburger.
According to Brown, “We are all accustomed to routines yet when we travel the very same practices that guide our lifestyle choices are often cast aside due to a lack of recreation activities or availability of suitable dining options”.
The recreational facilities at Fraser Suites Dubai include a fully equipped gymnasium open 24 hours per day, a 25 m outdoor swimming pool, tennis and squash courts and separate ladies and gents sauna and steam rooms. Fraser Suites Dubai has also partnered with expert instructor Noura El Imam who conducts Yogalates sessions throughout the week. This innovative exercise regime is a fusion of Yoga and Pilates and is designed to strengthen and tone while calming the mind.
Brown adds, “As a global operator of Gold Standard serviced residences we understand the importance of quality, consistency and maintaining a commitment to meeting the unique needs of our clients.”
