Jumeirah Lake Towers

Hassan Morcel asked:


Jumeirah also own the Emirates Towers hotel, the Jumeirah Beach hotel, the Madinat group of hotels which include Mina A Salam, Al Qasr & the Madinat Souk which houses the largest swimming pool in the Middle East and an amazing desert hotel, Bab Al Shams located in the desert with sand dunes rolling from its perimeters and making a fantastic landscape for the falcon shows and camel riding they have on offer.

All Jumeirah hotels have amazing architecture and are worth a visit for this alone. This, together with their famous customer service values, makes them a great choice for visitors to Dubai. For a true taste of Arabia, visit the Madinat Souk, part of the Madinat and Mina A Salam complex located on Jumeirah beach. This resort offers 42 restaurants overlooking the Burj Al Arab and situated on the edge of their very own canal. Watch the dhows transport the hotel guests around this vast complex on their waterways and lagoon. It really is a beautiful spot for a sundowner or a meal incorporating food from all over the world.

There are many other famous branded hotels in Dubai, from The One and Only Royal Mirage to Hiltons, Sheratons (both beach and airport locations), the Kempinski Group, Shangri La Group and Crown Plaza among many more. Most hotels are at 5 star standard, however there are some more lower cost hotels such as the 4 star Al Manzil hotel, located behind the worlds tallest building the Burj Dubai nestling in its own Arabian style architecture and complementing the huge sky rise buildings surrounding it.

The Grosvenor House hotel located in Dubai Marina is a fantastic venue for staying or visiting their restaurants and bars. Have a drink in Bar 44 located on the 44th floor of the hotel and offering amazing views of the Marina area, and then take the express lift down to the fabulous Buddha Bar for a fusion of Thai and international cuisine.

All 5 star hotels in Dubai have pools, gym and restaurant facilities with many offering spa areas too. Of course the crème de la crème of spa facilities has to be located within the 7 star hotels the Burj Al Arab, where reservations are recommended and the environment is so much part of the treatment you will never want to leave!

Many hotels also offer apartment facilities so if you are here longer term and want to experience more pf the home comforts, these are a great option.

Other companies capitalizing on the huge tourism market here are with their Versace Palazzo hotel and the Trump Towers hotel (located on the famous Palm Island). Versace should be opening its doors to the international elite during 2008 with Trump Tower hotel opening scheduled to be around early 2010.

Spoilt for choice between amazing desert hotels, luxury beach hotels as well as fantastic corporate hotels in the city, Dubai offers an eclectic mix to choose from. However all are within close proximity of all tourist facilities, shopping malls and attractions as well as its fantastic beaches - you can’t go far wrong with any location. Most city business hotels located along Sheikh Zayed road also have affiliations with beach hotels and will transport you to the beach during your stay.

Moreover, strategical location of the city works in its favor, which is ideal for a business.

 

But recent development in Dubai in last decade is exceptional, especially, in real state sector, medicine, transport, infrastructure; no area of life has remained untouched with the development.

Now every big hotel chain has its presence in Duabi. The only known 7 Star hotel Bruj-Al-Arab is located in Dubai. There are also a good number of luxurious five star hotels are located in Dubai.

Andrew Regan asked:


The United States was once synonymous with having the largest incarnation of just about anything you could think of - whether it was the world’s largest ball of string or the tallest free-standing structure on the planet. However, out of the top ten current tallest buildings in the world, Uncle Sam has only two structures, neither of which sits in the top slot. That honour is held by Taiwan, whose Taipei 101 structure measures a lofty 509m in height, almost 70m taller than Chicago’s Sears Tower, the United States’ tallest building.

While Taiwan can claim to have the world’s largest industrial building, Dubai can lay claim to having the world’s tallest hotel. In fact, Dubai is home to three out of the top ten world’s tallest hotels with the Rose Tower - despite still being under construction - the tallest at a height of 333 metres. When construction began, the Rose Tower was supposed to reach 380 metres - the height of the Empire State Building. However, design modifications led to its projected height being reduced, and while it is still under construction, the honour of tallest hotel is unofficial.

Pyongyang, the capital city of North Korea is home to what would have been the second tallest hotel, the Ryugyong Hotel. With 105 stories rising to a height of 330 metres, the Ryugong Hotel is a towering, empty concrete shell, which has stood unfinished since 1992. With no windows, fixtures or fittings ever being installed, the basic structure is complete but has never been surveyed for safety and some believe the structure to be unsafe due to the use of poor quality building materials.

As a result, travellers looking to stay in the world’s tallest operable hotels should head back to Dubai, where they’ll be able to stay in the third and fourth tallest hotel structures in the world: the Burj-al-Arab and the Jumeirah Emirates Towers. The Burj-al-Arab has 60 guest floors, stands at 321 metres tall and is constructed on an artificial island that is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. Construction of the Burj-al-Arab began in 1994 and was built to resemble the sail of a dhow - a type of Arabian sea vessel.

The Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel is a 56-floor five-star business hotel in Dubai which stands at a height of 309 metres and is the 29th tallest currently-standing structure in the world. The Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel is also referred to as Emirates Tower Two and is connected to the 54-floor Emirates Office Tower by a retail boulevard and together the two structures form the Emirates Towers complex, which is complete with lakes, waterfalls, public seating areas and has ample car parking space for up to 1800 cars.

Although renowned for its sand, sun, and shopping, Dubai is fast becoming world famous for its architectural audacity and breathtaking structures. Today, shiny new skyscrapers reflect the mosques and wind towers of Old Dubai while some of the world’s tallest structures - hospitality and industry alike - dominate the Dubai skyline.
