About Jawhara Hotels:The Jawhara brand was born in 1979 when Haj Saeed Lootah established the first family hotel in Dubai that offered its services within the guidelines of the United Arab Emirates' rich culture of hospitality. With the phenomenal growth of tourism and the increasing number of visitors to Dubai, S.S. Lootah Group invested in the hospitality industry, creating the first "True Emirates Hospitality" hotel chain brand "Jawhara". The Jawhara group of hotels has a growing portfolio of two hotels - 'Gardens' and 'Metro' as well as Al Jawhara Hotel Apartments, offering more than 300 hotel rooms, suites and furnished apartments. Jawhara also introduced "Pure room" for the first time in the gulf. The "Pure rooms" are called so after being certified by the American company 'Pure Solutions', a leader in this area that utilizes an innovative, one-of-a-kind process for maintenance of the rooms.
