Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 10th October 2002 - The five-star, 225-room Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel & Towers officially opened for business today, following a massive five-month, US$10 million renovation – the final phase of its multi-million-dollar property refurbishment.
"Over the past five years, more than US$20 million have been invested in this unique creek-side property to transform it into a world-class hotel," said James Munro, Area Manager, Dubai & General Manager Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel & Towers.
"The new-look hotel now features an elegant honed limestone exterior and a stunning, landscaped front entrance with a spacious lower lobby.
"Guests and diners can now enjoy the ambience and upgraded surroundings of some of Dubai's first class dining outlets."
The hotel's Vivaldi, Ashiana and refurbished Creekside restaurants offer new innovative menus. The new Lobby Café sits amid the comforting surroundings of the hotel's renovated atrium, bathed in natural colours, complemented by Italian marble.
"The lobby design has retained the soothing ambience delivered by the hotel's signature cascading waterfall which has been enhanced with the addition of a beautiful glass pyramid fountain," said Munro.
"Guest rooms and suites now have uninterrupted views across the Creek and of the city. Our average room size is 42 square metres which is well above the industry norm.
"The rooms and suites all have refreshed colour schemes, improved data-connectivity and the latest in electronic door lock systems. Our Tower rooms all now have hi-tech shower heads and the latest in bedding comfort," added Munro.
The hotel also offers Dubai's newest conference facilities, which include an upgraded business centre, the Executive Conference Centre with a new state-of-the-art boardroom, the Dubai Ballroom boasting an enlarged foyer with natural daylight and the elegant Hatta Room.
