The smoke has cleared for good at Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City
Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City superior room
The newly opened Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City has recently been announced as a fully nonsmoking hotel, becoming the first hotel in Dubai, and first Crowne Plaza in the world to dedicate all rooms and lobby areas as smoke free environments.
The decision made by Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City will have many benefits for our guests. Free from smoke, which is known to seep into fabrics and linger in the air, each room will remain at its freshest for each and every arrival. Public areas will also remain smoke free, meaning as a guest arrives in the lobby of the hotel they will step into a clean and welcoming environment. A smoke free hotel will have a very positive impact on many health concerns and makes this an attractive option for families and guests sensitive to smoke. The move to nonsmoking is in-line with the new stance that the Dubai Municipality has adopted towards smoking in public. Last year saw the removal of smoking from shopping malls, as well as restaurants and cafés, a move hailed as a highly beneficial step for public health and safety.
The decision to make Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City a smoke free hotel is a dynamic step forward for the Dubai market, and one which the Crowne Plaza team believe is a move towards a healthier future. Pascal Eggerstedt, hotel manager of Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City believes that the palpable benefits of the hotel becoming smoke free will make this decision highly popular, "Guests will be provided with fresher and cleaner air in their rooms and public areas, this will be a similar case with all our upholstery and furnishings. We are sincerely proud to be the first hotel in Dubai to make this trend setting decision, one that we feel will soon be emulated across the region."
