Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of vacation services and an operating segment of Interval Leisure Group, has announced the affiliation of Emirates Vacation Club, a private residence club in the heart of Dubai, UAE.
The Emirates Vacation Club’s first phase consists of 32 luxury units located within the 48-story Emirates Grand Hotel. Already a landmark on the skyline of a city renowned for its innovative architecture, the hotel’s Suites Tower has a rotating glass entrance and intricate, hand-crafted wooden wall panels in its soaring lobby.
The studio, one and two-bedroom units feature fully-equipped kitchen and dining areas, along with modern conveniences such as high-speed Internet connection, LCD TV, DVD player, and IDD telephone. Most have breathtaking views from their floor-to-ceiling windows.
“Interval International is excited to welcome Emirates Vacation Club to our network of resorts,” said David Clifton, Interval’s managing director for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia. “This stunning urban property is the flagship resort of Emirates Grand, a hotel ownership and management company formed by Dr Khalid Kadfoor Al-Mehairi. We look forward to building on our close relationship with the company as it adds high-quality properties in destinations throughout the Middle East to its portfolio.”
Purchasers of fractional interests or single weeks will enjoy a spectacular range of amenities, including a rooftop swimming pool with panoramic views and an exclusive spa on the 45th floor. Guests can also enjoy a 290-sq-m gymnasium, tennis court, and two restaurants and lounges.
“Our vision is to provide an outstanding level of luxury at affordable prices that appeal to consumers. Our initial primary markets include the Middle East, Europe, and Asia,” said Ashraf El Zarqa, chief operating officer for Emirates Grand. “We chose to affiliate with Interval International because of the quality resorts it offers and the great membership benefits is provides our owners.”
