As a new entrant to the hospitality sector, Majid Al Attar introduces the new home-grown Gevora Hotel with a stunning view of Dubai’s skyline standing tallest in the world at a height of 356 meters with 75 floors and 528 keys. The property is located at Sheikh Zayed Road adjacent to the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) within a very short distance to the metro line. The General Manager of the hotel disclosed that the very concept and state-of-the-art design were the creations of a great team work between the owners and the management. The soft opening ceremony of the property was graced by hotel owners Majid Al Attar, Khalid Al Attar, Ahmed Abdul Rahim Al Attar, Salah Ameen, Mana Al Attar and Mohammed Al Attar.
The entire property will consist of a total of 528 keys – 232 Deluxe Rooms, 265 one-bed room deluxe and 31 two-bedroom suites, five restaurants offering international and local cuisine, well equipped with a pool, jacuzzi, state-ofthe-art health club and luxury spa for visitors, complete with a panoramic view on the rooftop with plans for the highest restaurant. The four-star luxury hotel will be the most fascinating building in the city which will now wear the crown of the tallest hotel from its predecessor JW Marriott Marquis.
The property was launched at a time when Dubai prepares for the influx of tourists for Expo 2020. The meeting room facilities at the hotel will be a key driver for the business clientele in the area who require smaller board room type of facilities. As Arabian Travel Market is also just a few weeks away, the location of the property is within close proximity to two metro stations. In terms of leisure, the property is familyfriendly and the rooms are fully equipped with a kitchen especially designed for the GCC clientele.
