Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai announces the 'Shangri-La Siesta'

This unique package is ideal for both guests stopping over in Dubai for the day en route to another destination as well as local Dubai residents looking for a quick escape from the hectic pace of life, hustle and bustle.

The package incorporates: the use of a luxurious deluxe guest room from 12 noon until 6pm; access to the hotel's facilities including the Health Club and resort-styled swimming pool (with swim-up pool bar); a light lunch served poolside (a choice of either a gourmet Vegetarian Foccacia, Shangri-La Burger or Caesar Salad plus a softdrink/juice) and a 50-minute Chi Balance Massage.

"We developed the Shangri-La Siesta to answer the demands of guests arriving into Dubai in the early hours of the morning and departing again in the evening of the same day. The package offers a tourist or visitor
to Dubai, the freedom to spend the morning of arrival site seeing and then check-in to the hotel at lunchtime, enjoy the sunshine poolside, use the hotel's facilities such as the gym, enjoy a light lunch and an
invigorating massage; then shower and prepare for the onward journey in the comfort of one of our rooms." said Sharon Garrett, director of communications, Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai.

"Based on the initial response from local Dubai residents we are also expecting quite a few people to take advantage of the opportunity to experience the luxury of our guest rooms, the hotel's facilities, the spa and lunch poolside as a mini break, getting away without going away. It's a terrific package to share with a friend and very affordable." she said.

The "Shangri-La Siesta" package is valid 1 June - 30 August 2005 and is subject to availability. Please note, advance bookings are required and limited spa appointments are available.
