We are proud to announce that the opening of the Kempinski Hotel & Residences Palm Jumeirah developed by EPG Hotels & Resorts is currently in the last phases of delivery, to meet its expected launch date by first of July 2011, as Kempinski's first beach property in Dubai.
Targeted at high-end travelers, Kempinski the Palm will be operated as a 5-star all-suite hotel, boasting some of the most spacious accommodation in the region. 244 exquisite suites, penthouses and villas vary in size between 112 and 894 sqm, and enjoy a living room, a state-of-the art kitchen, a minimum of one bedroom and up to five bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, an additional terrace space, some with the extravagance of an outdoor private pool or Jacuzzi. The classical elegant styling of the European-inspired interior design by award-winning firm GAJ, features exclusive custom-made furniture manufactured by the Italian designer company Francesco Molon, a family-owned business dedicated to the revival of furniture artistry in classical European style.
Located on the man-made island of Palm Jumeirah, the Hotel & Residences boast striking views either over the Palm Jumeirah lagoon and the Dubai skyline in the distance, or undisturbed views of the Arabian Sea. This elegant beachside setting is complemented with 5 acres of landscaped gardens, 500 metres of white sandy private beach, a 1,200 sqm free-form outdoor swimming pool including a shaded area for children, an extensive gym with state-of-the-art equipment, a magnificent pampering spa and a kids' club and playground.
Additionally, a variety of restaurants and bars offers guests a wide range of cuisines, including "Brunello" Mediterranean Restaurant with an Italian twist, Beach Bar & Grill and "Key West" Bar & Lounge. "Brunello" features elegant décor and lovely views of the inner gardens . Large French doors open to a terrace that welcomes guests to enjoy al fresco dining during clement weather while at "Key West" Bar & Lounge discerning connoisseurs indulge into a world of intimate lighting, rich leather, wood, the seductive aroma of fine cigars and the immaculate service.
A boardroom and a meeting room cater for the business traveller, while a selection of shopping venues offers guests everything, from the quintessentially necessary to the absolutely indulgent.
"Kempinski Hotel & Residences Palm Jumeirah is a unique concept in Dubai's hospitality market for both families and couples. The remarkable privacy and space, along with direct access to the beach and excellent 5-star service offers guests the "experience" of a life-time. A range of tailor-made services will be available such as a personal butler, personal chef, the Palace ceremony and many more - all aimed at creating an atmosphere of luxury, relaxation and comfort", says Beat Peter, General Manager of the property.
The property will be complemented by the Emerald Palace Kempinski Palm Jumeirah Dubai which is due to open in 2012. The two properties fit perfectly with the company's vision of having only unique properties in its portfolio, especially in a destination such as Dubai where everything is done par excellence. This project has been one of the most successful in the UAE, achieving some of the best yield rates within properties on the Palm.
Reto Wittwer, President and CEO of Kempinski Hotels said: "Kempinski was one of the first hotel groups to announce properties on Palm Jumeirah, the spectacular man-made palm-shaped offshore development along the coast of Dubai, by Nakheel. Many announcements then followed, with big name hospitality brands and other large projects generating impressive international media attention for the real estate and tourism hotspot."
