THE 1,608-room JW Marriott Marquis Dubai will open its doors to guests in the fourth quarter of this year.
A stunning addition to Marriott International’s JW Marriott world-class luxury hotel brand, the twin-towered hotel will open in two phases, with the first section featuring 807 rooms and numerous restaurants and lounges.
At a height of 355 m, the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai is the tallest dedicated hotel building in the world and is just 26 m shorter than the Empire State Building in New York.
In addition to serving the luxury business traveller, the hotel is targeting the lucrative Mice (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) market, which currently does not have a hotel of sufficient scale to host such large groups.
The hotel will have two ballrooms, 24 meeting rooms and a total of 5,100 sq m of event space as well as nine restaurants, five lounges, a world-class spa and health club.
