The Address, Dubai Mall completes structural and cladding work

Interior fit-out operations of the hotel, serviced apartments and central podium are nearing completion.

The Address, Dubai Mall is a luxury, contemporary hotel linked to one of the world's largest shopping and entertainment destinations - The Dubai Mall. The hotel is strategically located to offer ease of access to many attractions within Downtown Burj Dubai, as well as other leisure and business locations in Dubai.

Mr. Marc Dardenne, Chief Executive Officer, Emaar Hospitality Group, said:

"As the next hotel set to open in The Address Hotels + Resorts portfolio, The Address, Dubai Mall will be a vibrant addition to the Downtown Burj Dubai area. The hotel will uphold the 'one-size-fits-one' philosophy of the hotel brand, and offer tangible guest benefits such as the complete 24 hour stay 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."

Commenting on the current status of the hotel, Mr. Roger Marcz, General Manager, The Address, Dubai Mall said: "Construction work is progressing as planned, with several key milestones already achieved. Apart from the completion of the structural and exterior cladding work, there has been remarkable progress in exterior landscaping which is around 60% complete. Simultaneously, mechanical and electrical work is being undertaken and will be finalised shortly. The interior fit-out operations of the hotel are 95% complete, with the serviced apartments and exterior podium nearing 80 and 85% completion respectively."

The interior of The Address, Dubai Mall will feature a Mashrabia-patterned design across its façade, along with a 21 metre-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 Dubai Mall, which opened in November 2008 to strong retailer interest.

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. Emaar will add more hotels and resorts under The Address banner as the brand develops locally and internationally.
