Hilton Dubai Creek open for business
- United Arab Emirates: Saturday, September 29 - 2001 at 10:02
- PRESS RELEASE
The Hilton Dubai Creek threw open its doors Thursday, ushering in a new era of hospitality to the Middle East. The long-awaited opening of Hilton's latest property in the region has introduced this market to the concept of lifestyle hotels.
Guy Hutchinson, manager, Hilton Dubai Creek, said: "We are very excited about the opening of the hotel as we believe it will offer something completely different to the five-star hotel market in Dubai - an intimate, highly personalised style of service in contemporary surroundings."
The interiors and exteriors of the property, which has taken nearly two years to build, was designed by the award-winning architect, Carlos Ott, together with Arenco Architects and Engineering Consultants. Glass is one of the key materials used throughout the hotel, from the twin sweeping glass staircases through to the restaurants, Glasshouse and Verre.
Hutchinson said: "The interiors are dynamic, modern and uncomplicated, yet our designers have managed to keep an elegance throughout, and where other hotels have windows, we have walls of glass."
The hotel is located in the Dubai Creek business district and combines design with the highest levels of comfort and dramatic Creek views. The newly expanded Dubai International Airport and world-class leisure venues such as the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club are all located nearby.
The Hilton Dubai Creek will be managed by Hilton International, together with the recently opened Hilton Dubai Jumeirah, on behalf of its owners, Arenco Real Estate. Guests at the Hilton Dubai Creek will also be able to enjoy the beach and facilities of the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah.
