Langham Hospitality Group will open its first property in the Middle East in 2015 with a 323-room resort on the crescent of Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.
The company has come to an agreement with DAS Real Estate to manage The Langham, Palm Jumeirah resort. Catering to couples and large families, the resort will have 53 one- and two-bedroom suites that range from 63 to 236 square metres; 22 of them will feature individual plunge pools.
As well as being the Hong Kong-based hotel group?s first foray into the Middle East, it will also be the company?s first resort in its global collection.
“We are very much looking forward to introducing The Langham’s rich heritage and impeccable service values to Dubai,” said Langham Hospitality Group CEO Robert Warman.
“The trifecta of this hotel’s spectacular location on the iconic Palm Jumeirah, Dubai’s winning bid to host the World Expo in 2020, and The Langham’s beautiful design aesthetics, make it the perfect time to debut our first resort in this dynamic destination.”
The resort’s interiors will be designed by Aedas Limited and, with its waterfront directly facing the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai Marina skyline, all rooms and suites will have expansive outdoor terraces and sea-front views.
It will also offer guests a wide variety of restaurants and bars, most of them with al fresco waterside dining. Headlining the culinary options will be Palm Court, a ?lounge modelled after its namesake at The Langham, London – the first grand hotel to serve the traditional afternoon tea in 1865.
