One fully air-conditioned tennis pavilion

Three outside courts boasting view of the St. Regis Dubai Gardens

Dubai - Al Habtoor City, which will see the hotel component open this year, will feature a state-of-the-art tennis academy complete with the UAE's first indoor, fully air-conditioned tennis court.

The Tennis Academy will facilitate guests of any of the three Starwood hotels on the complex (St. Regis Dubai, W Dubai- Al Habtoor City, Westin Dubai, Al Habtoor City), as well as the residents of the towers, and members of the sports facility. 

Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, Chairman of the Al Habtoor Group said, "The indoor tennis pavilion will allow tennis enthusiasts to play all-year-round no matter what the weather. This is very unique to Dubai."

He added, "From all the tennis courts there are lovely views of the St. Regis Gardens. You won't get this anywhere else."

The outdoor courts will be naturally lit.  The Tennis academy will include changing rooms for men and women and a café. In addition to free-play, the tennis academy will have tennis professionals on hand to coach adults and children.

Visitors will be able to drive their cars directly to the adjoining car park.

"Al Habtoor City offers something unique. There is so much happening under one roof, from hospitality, entertainment, sports and leisure," Al Habtoor said.
