DUBAI, October 2007 - Raffles Dubai, opened early October 2007, features 248 generously proportioned suites, each with its own private balcony. Accommodations at Raffles Dubai offer breathtaking panoramic views of Dubai Creek and Dubai’s historic city, occupying a minimum of 70 square metres.
Raffles Dubai has already distinguished itself on the Dubai skyline with its unique pyramidal structure. While the hotel’s design is inspired by the past, it is discretely fitted with state-of-the-art technology and built for the future. Internet access is available in every room via WiFi. In addition, each room features an espresso machine, 40-inch LCD television and an IPod docking station.
The hotel features several floors dedicated to Raffles Inc suites, the global business address for discerning business travellers. The uncompromising service and thoughtful facilities, such as a private Raffles Inc lounge, catered to executives will ensure the ultimate business experience.
The hotel features four elegant Presidential Suites, each one thematically designed to reflect the elements of earth, wind, water and fire. Fiery splashes of colour in the fabrics and dark timber finishes accentuate the ‘fire’ themed suite, while the ‘earth’ themed suite features natural hues of creams and browns. Subtle blends of creams and whites create a soft, calming ambience in the ‘air’ themed suite, while soothing water features decorate the ‘water’ themed suite.
The most exquisite suites in the hotel are its two stunning Royal Suites. One draws inspiration from Asian design, while the other features Middle Eastern décor. Handcrafted ornaments and luxurious fabrics create a residential ambience to make these suites a sophisticated home away from home. Each suite is complemented by a private gym.
“Dubai is a destination known for its luxury, hospitality and culture. Our rooms are designed to provide the finest in comfort, elegance and privacy. We are confident that guests will have an unparalleled experience through our first-rate service, our uncompromising standards and our flair for surpassing expectations,” said Hagop Doghramadjian, General Manager of Raffles Dubai.
