Traders Hotel Dubai, a Shangri-La hotel, is set to open in April, and is the result of a management agreement between Shangri-La International Hotels and Resorts and Oman-based Zubair Corporation.
The opening of Traders Hotel Dubai follows quickly on the heels of the opening of the Shangri-La Hotel Dubai and reflects the first Traders Hotel in the Middle East region.
Operating under the same philosophies and management structure as Shangri-La hotels, the Traders brand caters toward a specific mid-market niche which complements Shangri-La's deluxe properties in key city centres, such as Dubai.
"Our main market is business travellers and of course the meetings segment. However during key Dubai events, such as Dubai Summer Surprises, we also expect to attract a share of the leisure market," says general manager Wolf Flecker.
Located in the bustling business and commercial district of Deira, the Traders Hotel Dubai, designed by Badri & Bensouda, consists of 250 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, food and beverage outlets, extensive meeting facilities and much more.
The lobby, with its warm and inviting ambience is expected to form the soul of the hotel. The hotel also features The Junction (a trendy 24-hour restaurant) and Chameleon (which provides entertainment every night).
The finishing touches to the hotel are now in progress. Guests can expect to see an interior which reflects contemporary minimalist style utilising exquisite furnishings, fixtures and design elements.
All guest rooms feature broadband Internet access, IDD telephone with voice mail, electronic in-room locker, private mini-bar, iron/ironing board, hair-dryer and tea/coffee making facilities.
Recreational facilities include gymnasium, sauna and steam rooms, Jacuzzi, indoor swimming pool, juice bar and massage rooms.
Other services which will be available include complimentary entrance and shuttle transfer to a beach park, same day laundry and valet services, complimentary airport pick-up and cross-signing facilities at Shangri-La Hotel Dubai providing an extended selection of dining options.
