JUNE 27, 2008. Layia Hospitality, a new hotel management company, is expanding its Living Courts serviced apartments brand, with a fourth property recently signed in Dubai. Opal Living Courts is scheduled to open in Al Barsha in January 2009.
This new high-rise property offers 96 spacious 100-square metre two bedroom apartments and four luxurious 140-square metre three-bedroom units. "All Living Courts come fully equipped and fully furnished, from the television to the bottle opener, so all the customer needs to do is bring their clothes," Hajjar added.
Each apartment at Crystal Living Courts has its own allocated parking space, while a rooftop pool, fitness centre and steam room complete the facilities available. Layia Hospitality opened its first Living Courts property, Crystal Living Courts, Al Barsha, in February.
Opening this summer, Topaz Living Courts, Al Barsha, located facing Mall of the Emirates, will become the second property under the Living Courts brand.
