JEBEL ALI International Hotels is all set to open the four-star Ocean View Hotel on The Walk at JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence) beach.
The Ocean View Hotel, Dubai’s only four-star beach hotel and the only four-star hotel on The Walk, is already built and overlooks the Arabian Gulf and The Palm, Jumeirah. All of the 341 rooms and suites feature sea views. Several interconnecting rooms are also available for families. Interior decorating and associate training procedures are presently in process and on track to be completed in time for the hotel’s late 2012 opening.
The hotel will also offer five restaurants and bars along with an Executive Lounge for guests staying in club rooms and suites. Other hotel facilities include a temperature-controlled free form swimming pool with sea views, a spa, health club, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. Guests will have direct access to the public beach at JBR just steps away or can take advantage of a complimentary shuttle to the private beach at Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa.
The Ocean View Hotel will also cater to business travellers with a fully equipped conference centre and six meeting rooms, many of which feature natural daylight and shaded balcony space for breaks.
“Positioning is crucial for any new entrant into Dubai’s maturing hospitality scene and the Ocean View Hotel will fill a very important gap in the market,” said David Thomson, regional general manager for Jebel Ali International Hotels.
“The four-star classification, prime beachfront location and relaxed family friendly environment will appeal to a vast cross section of travellers, though still being very specific about what it stands for. The travel trade has long since asked for a four-star beachfront product and we have no doubt that the response will be huge and extremely positive”.
