Jebel Ali International Hotels to manage Dubai’s only 4-star beach hotel which will open at the end of 2012.
Dubai will once again feature a 4-star beach hotel on its coastline, as Jebel Ali International Hotels prepares to open the Ocean View Hotel on The Walk at JBR beach.
The Ocean View Hotel, which will be Dubai’s only 4-star beach hotel and the only 4-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 that can be enjoyed from their balconies, or from the room itself. 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 at the Ocean View Hotel will be able to enjoy the public beach at JBR just steps away, which can be accessed from the swimming pool. Alternatively, guests can take advantage of a complimentary shuttle to the 5-star private beach at Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa, recently awarded the World Travel Award for the ‘World’s Leading Family Resort’.
The Ocean View Hotel will also cater to business travellers with a fully equipped conference centre and 6 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 4-star classification, prime beachfront location and relaxed family friendly environment will appeal to a vast cross section of travelers, though still being very specific about what it stands for. The travel trade has long since asked for a 4-star beachfront product and we have no doubt that the response will be huge and extremely positive”.
Jebel Ali International Hotels has over 30 years experience in managing 4-star beach accommodation in Dubai, having previously managed the Oasis Beach Hotel.
