RIXOS Hotels’ new project set to open later this month will mark the first Middle East opening for the hotel company. Their first venture, Rixos The Palm, Dubai, is a luxurious resort situated in the most prestigious part of Palm Jumeirah.
The highly anticipated entry of Rixos Hotels Group in the Middle Eastern territory was announced, following the success of the chain’s fourteen hotels and overwhelming demand from worldwide guests and tourism industry professionals.
The Rixos luxury hotel concept was first launched in the year 2000, in Antalya, Turkey and is the brainchild of Turkish businessman Fettah Tamince.
Basak Erel, senior vice president Brand Management, said: “It has been the vision and mission of Rixos Hotels to become a leading global player in the hotel arena.”
Erel continued: “Middle Eastern markets have always offered an important investment opportunity for Rixos Group as a leading hotel brand; we focus on strategic hotel and residence projects. We are delighted to seal our presence in the region concomitantly with an exclusive five-star project such as Rixos The Palm, Dubai.”
Rixos The Palm, Dubai consists of 234 rooms and suites, 33 well appointed residential apartments, and multi-dining Food and Beverage venues featuring innovative concepts for the Dubai market. Rixos The Palm, Dubai is a symbol of Rixos Hotels highest service standards and paramount customer satisfaction, conveying Turkish hospitality to the UAE. The architecture and interior design are very modern following a minimalist route. The iconic luxury hotel and residences are contemporary in style with distinct touches of traditional elements executed in novel design and materials.
“Rixos Hotels will initiate a unique approach to signify the lavish service and quality coupled with traditional hospitality and Turkish Culture. I look forward to the opening soon as well as being involved in the bright and buoyant hotel arena of the Middle East.” added Erel.
The project footprint which neighbours H.H Sheikh Mohammad Al Maktoum’s Palace and Sofouh Road has an indoor area covering a mere 30 per cent of the total available land. The remaining 70 per cent is generously dedicated to gardens along with a stunning beach promenade area. The spacious main entrance, the lobby of the hotel and the private open balconies of the rooms resemble the Middle Eastern architecture.
