Five-star Address on track for launch

01 April 2009

STRUCTURAL and exterior cladding work has been completed at The Address, Dubai Mall, with the five-star premium hotel on schedule for opening later this year.

Interior fit-out operations of the hotel, serviced apartments and central podium are nearing completion.
Owned and operated by The Address Hotels + Resorts, part of Emaar Hospitality Group, the luxury, contemporary hotel is linked to one of the world’s largest shopping and entertainment destinations – The Dubai Mall.
The hotel will uphold the ‘one-size-fits-one’ philosophy of the hotel brand, and offer tangible guest benefits such as 24-hour service in all suites. With a unique location adjacent to The Dubai Mall, the hotel will offer special shopping packages to its guests, as well as a variety of first-class dining venues. The hotel will also feature a five-star spa, infinity pool and state-of-the-art fitness centre, making it “an ideal getaway in an urban environment.”
“Construction work is progressing as planned, with several key milestones already achieved,” says Roger Marcz, the hotel’s general manager. “Apart from the completion of the structural and exterior cladding work, there has been remarkable progress in exterior landscaping, which is around 60 per cent complete. Simultaneously, mechanical and electrical work is being undertaken and will be finalised shortly. The interior fit-out operations of the hotel are 95 per cent complete, with the serviced apartments and exterior podium nearing 80 and 85 per cent completion respectively.”
The interior of the hotel will feature a mashrabiya-patterned design across its façade, along with a 21-m-high water wall – unique architectural elements adding to the overall experience of the first-class hotel. The hotel contains 245 guest rooms and 449 serviced residences, most of them overlooking Downtown Burj Dubai, with direct connectivity to the mall.
Emaar Hospitality Group is also developing another hotel under The Address brand name in Dubai – The Address, Dubai Marina, which is also scheduled to open later this year.
