Millennium Plaza Dubai, a luxury accommodation along Sheikh Zayed Road, was named the “Best Family Hotel in United Arab Emirates” for 2017 by the prestigious Haute Grandeur Global Hotel Awards.

General Manager Nemo Acimovic accepted the honours at the illustrious gala ceremony held in Bangkok, Thailand on October 27, where Millennium Plaza Dubai won the Best Family Hotel in UAE and was acknowledged for offering the finest in hospitality experience.

“The Haute Grandeur Global Hotel Awards is considered one of the highest recognitions in the hospitality industry because the results are based on hotel guests’ feedback. They have rated the hotel from their experience after staying at Millennium Plaza Dubai. The hotel welcomes all kinds of travellers including those who visit with their family so we ensure that we create a family friendly atmosphere and strive to develop a facility where all members of the family are catered for during their stay. I am very proud of my team because we have succeeded in being a family-friendly hotel and this award reflects their hard work and commitment in ensuring that we offer only the best and the finest in all aspects of our service,” commented Acimovic.

The award honors the highest achievements from across the global hotel industry, recognizing the most exceptional in hospitality experiences across 7 continents, 172 countries and 94 categories. Distinguished global hotel brands compete for the ultimate accolade in overall excellence and greatest contribution to the industry over the past year. The ratings are based on a unique concept exclusive to Haute Grandeur which relies on quality feedback from guests rather than a quantity of votes by the general public or judges so fairness, transparency and unbiased results are guaranteed.

The 5-star Millennium Plaza Dubai has been a preferred accommodation of residents from the other emirates, visiting families from neighbouring GCC countries and international guests because of the spacious rooms and modern facilities including its location, being close to the World Trade Center, Dubai International Financial Center and The Dubai Mall and with direct access to Emirates Towers Metro station.

The 65-storey tower offers 398 guest rooms with stunning views of the Zabeel Palace and Jumeirah Beach. Guests can enjoy the newly renovated Infinity Health Club and Spa, the Club’s Lounge, and the temperature-controlled swimming pool with views of the Arabian Sea.

UAE-based holding company Meraas, said its key development, Bulgari Resort Dubai, will open the doors to guests on December 7, 2017.

Commenting on the launch, Abdulla Al Habbai, the chairman of Meraas Group, said: “We are proud to deliver The Bulgari Resort & Residences Dubai, a first-of-its-kind master development in scale and magnitude. Our partnership stems from shared values and a common objective to offer unique and exquisite experiences in Dubai and the region.

“We are confident this project will contribute and will add a new dimension to the tourism and hospitality landscape in line with the Dubai Vision 2020 for tourism, and strengthen Dubai’s global position as a leading tourism destination.”

This newest addition to the Bulgari Hotels & Resorts collection is the fifth in the group, following on from the most recently launched Bulgari Hotel Beijing, which opened in September 2017. It joins a growing portfolio of properties around the world, which began with the inaugural Bulgari Hotel Milan in 2004, The Bulgari Resort Bali in 2006, and The Bulgari Hotel London in 2012, and will be followed by Shanghai in early 2018, and then Moscow in 2020.

The resort is styled with European-inspired gardens and pools and blends Mediterranean landscaping with the natural settings of the shores of the Arabian Gulf, said the developer. Comprising 101 rooms and suites, 20 private villas, a vast spa, the Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, and the world’s first Bulgari Marina and Yacht Club, the property is set to become the destination of choice for visitors seeking the solitude of an island escape.

Designed entirely by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, the 158,000sqm property is the first-of-its-kind development for the brand, both in scale and magnitude. The resort offers a full range of amenities, such as the gourmet Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, the Il Café open all day , Il Bar with its iconic oval-shaped freestanding bar and La Spiaggia, the most exclusive beach club with private beach and a unique mosaic-design outdoor swimming pool.

Jean-Christophe Babin, the chief executive of Bulgari, said: “This is another milestone for the Bulgari Hotels and Resorts Collection and represents a tribute to the importance of the Middle East market for the brand. It is an honour for us to partner with Meraas on this extraordinary project, which brings the best of the Italian design and lifestyle culture to one of the most modern and future-oriented city in the world.”

Guests can also enjoy the 1,700sqm spa with hammam, indoor pool, fitness centre, beauty salon with a traditional barbershop and hairdresser. The private marina features 50 boat berths and the world’s first Bulgari Yacht Club with peerless views over the sea.
