About Jumeirah Internatioal
Jumeirah International properties are regarded as among the most luxurious and innovative in the world and have won numerous international travel and design awards. The group encompasses the world-renowned Burj Al Arab that has become a true icon and landmark for Dubai, the award winning Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Emirates Towers Hotel, Offices and Boulevard, The Jumeirah Beach Club Resort and Spa, The World Trade Centre Hotel Dubai and Wild Wadi Water Park. In addition, the group opened The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management in summer 2001.

Jumeirah International has expanded outside the Middle East into London, taking over the management of The Carlton Tower and The Lowndes Hotel in London's Belgravia in December 2001. Following on from Jumeirah International's move into the UK, The Carlton Tower was immediately included in the prestigious 'Leading Hotels of the World' handbook following Burj Al Arab, Emirates Towers Hotel and The Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

The company's latest expansion is the unique resort development Madinat Jumeirah. Enhancing Dubai's reputation as one of the world's most idyllic destinations, the 100-acre resort will offer the ultimate Arabian experience against the setting of a highly luxurious, world-class, multi-facility resort. Madinat Jumeirah will include two grand boutique hotels and clusters of 382 rooms and suites all featuring authentic architecture reflecting the heritage and culture of Dubai and the Arabian region. Mina A' Salam, the Gateway to Madinat Jumeirah, the Arabian Resort, Dubai has opened in September 2003 and will be followed by the complete resort in summer 2004.
