Sofitel brings its savoir-faire to Dubai's Jumeirah Beach

The hotel occupies one of the most beautiful waterfront sites within Dubai Marina, in front of the Jumeirah Beach Residences. It is just 35 minutes from Dubai International Airport and close to Dubai Media City and the Jebel Ali Free Zone.

The highlight of the hotel's location, however, is its central position on The Walk: a vibrant stretch of over 400 beachside boutiques, cafes and restaurants, interspersed with landscaped gardens, alfresco terraces and safe children's play areas.

The hotel has 438 sea-view rooms arranged over 31 floors including 27 Sofitel suites, 12 Prestige suites and 1 Imperial suite. Each room has a private balcony with unobstructed views across the Persian Gulf.

Imposing natural elements and Arabic influences punctuate the vibrant colour tones of the contemporary interiors: from the 5-metre-high waterfall and six-metre-tall acacia tree that dramatically highlight the spaciousness of the lobby to the exquisite detail of palm leaves engraved in the teak furnishings in the guest rooms.

Synonymous with the French art de vivre, culinary excellence is one of the cornerstones of the Sofitel experience. Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach is no exception with five individual restaurants and lounges combining to present a truly international flavour:

- A.O.C - a French Brasserie featuring an 'a la carte menu' with French 'Grands Classiques' and buffets including live Bakery and Rotisserie. The perfect venue to enjoy a Friday Brunch or dine on the outdoor terrace offering expansive sea views of the Persian Gulf.

- Rococo - in a modern and elegant interior design, the hotel's signature restaurant offers innovative Italian cuisine in a fashionable and vibrant atmosphere. Highlights include live antipasti counter, fresh pasta and a wide selection of Italian wines and grappa's.

- The Hub - a warm, relaxed and lively atmosphere in a bar with character offering a variety of brewed beverages from around the world and traditional Irish culinary specialties served in finger bite size.

- Plantation - an inviting colonial-style lounge with comfy armchairs and lush plants, serving light bites à la carte, afternoon 'Parisian' tea with French pastries and the latest cocktails

- Infini - a zen-inspired alfresco pool lounge where languid days slip into starlit Arabian nights with impeccable ease. One of the best spots in the city to watch the sunset across the Persian Gulf while enjoying Arabic Mezzeh, Shisha, Moroccan tea and a selection of dates.

From Business to Leisure

The hotel's five meeting and function rooms - including the 400-capacity Grand Ballroom - occupy their own floor of the hotel, decorated with marble and precious woods befitting of the destination's lavish appeal.

Elsewhere, on-site leisure facilities extend to the Beauty Salon, a sea-view infinity pool with alfresco lounge, SoFit Health Club with sauna and steam room and a Ladies Hair Salon. In addition to the boutiques and leisure outlets of The Walk, the hotel offers easy access to two of Dubai's biggest shopping malls and three prestigious golf clubs.
