Emirates capitalises on long term stays
The most recent addition to the serviced apartment market in Dubai is Green Lakes from Emirates Hotels & Resorts, the hospitality division of Emirates Airline. Located in the Jumeirah Lakes Towers precinct, Green Lakes offers 141 one-bedroom, 29 two-bedroom, and 11 three-bedroom apartments, each of which have fully-fitted kitchens and dining areas.
Every apartment also has flat screen LCD satellite TVs, DVD/CD players, ipod docking stations and broadband Internet. The services includes daily housekeeping, full reception, concierge, guest relations, security, maintenance of the apartment and valet parking services.
Tony Williams, Vice President of Resorts & Projects at Emirates Hotels & Resorts, said business travellers staying in Dubai, many of whom require accommodation for up to three or four months at a time, are increasingly choosing serviced apartments rather than a standard hotel room as a base.
'Equally we see a strong demand for even longer-term stays, where the convenience of serviced apartments means that residents have none of the individual hassles associated with having to sort, register and take care of monthly utility bills, maid and maintenance services, and the numerous other domestic chores associated with renting,' he noted.
