Kleindienst Group, developer of The Heart of Europe – the US$5 billion (Dh18.3 billion) master-planned leisure tourism island destination – has speeded up the construction activities to deliver the Phase 1 of the mega project in the fourth quarter of 2020 that includes Portofino Hotel, an authentic Italian retreat in Dubai.

Once delivered, it will create a unique experiential touristic attraction for local, regional and international visitors, who will discover an upgraded leisure and hospitality experience from Europe and the Maldives in Dubai.

Guided by its purpose of care and experience delivering world-class hospitality for more than 60 years, Hyatt today announced a Global Care & Cleanliness Commitment to further enhance its operational guidance and resources around colleague and guest safety and peace of mind. The multi-layered commitment builds on Hyatt’s existing rigorous protocols and will include an accreditation process by the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) at all hotels around the world, colleague training and support resources, and a cross-functional working group of medical experts and industry professionals that will contribute to various aspects of the hotel experience.

“The world as we knew it has been fundamentally changed by COVID-19 and when we are all ready to travel again, we want to make sure that every Hyatt colleague and guest feels confident that each aspect of our commitment is designed with their safety in mind, and that we’re putting their wellbeing first,” said Mark Hoplamazian, president and CEO, Hyatt. “To do this, we must critically examine the hotel experience from every vantage point – from our rooms and our lobbies to our spas and dining – bringing in the latest research, technology and innovation to make that happen. Hyatt’s Global Care & Cleanliness Commitment is an important expression of our purpose to care for people so they can be their best – now and in the future.”

Starting today, Letswork, the UAE’s largest network of workspaces, and Rove Hotels have expanded their co-working partnership to offer trendy guest rooms at Rove Dubai Marina and Rove Healthcare City as private day-time offices from 27 April 2020. Priced at AED 79, the special day pass allows guests to access rooms at the two properties between 6am and 10pm to use as their office for the day.

The special day pass can be purchased through the Letswork app. Once at the hotel, guests will be required to check-in via the app and present their ID at the hotel’s front desk for verification and their room key.
