Accor expands Dubai footprint with Ibis Al Barsha launching in spring

With a commitment to full service at value for money pricing, Ibis Al Barsha will have 378 double rooms, 100 twin-bed rooms and two special needs rooms (accessible rooms for disabled people) across six floors, with 48 interconnecting rooms suitable for families, while all will feature international direct dial telephones, satellite TV, high speed Internet and WIFI connections, as well as 24 hours a day hot and cold snack menu available. Well-designed and fully equipped bedrooms offer customers the conditions of quality sleep as well as the possibility to work in a welcoming room.

Facilities include WIFI in lobby and public areas, indoor car parking, free safety deposit boxes at reception, an airport shuttle service, plus a variety of dining options including the Baharat restaurant featuring an international buffet with flavours of the Mediterranean and Orient accompanying the traditional Arabic recipes. Ibis Al Barsha will also offer guests the convenience of 24-hour dining at the Café Bonjour, plus live music at the Casa Latina Cuban Restaurant/Bar and a handy meeting venue for both business and pleasure in the Madison Bar.

"The '15 minutes satisfaction contract' is the illustration of Ibis' concrete commitment to quality. If a customer reports a problem which is the hotel's responsibility, the teams are committed to finding a solution within 15 minutes maximum, 24 hours a day; every day of the week. If no solution is found, the client is invited", said Philippe Montaubin, General Manager of Ibis Al Barsha.

Ibis was launched in the Middle East with Ibis World Trade Centre Dubai in 2003. In 2008, Ibis Salmiya in Kuwait opened in March and then Ibis Deira City Centre in Dubai, in November.

"Ibis Al Barsha is strategic to the development of Accor group brands throughout the Middle East, where a network of 50+ properties are planned by 2012."
