Layia Oak Hotel & Residence Set to Open
DUBAI, UAE, July 9, 2008. Layia Oak Hotel & Residence is set to open at the end of the summer. The first full service hotel property for Layia Hospitality, the 15-storey iconic glass and steel structure will become a new landmark in hospitality in Dubai's bustling business district.
Located off Sheikh Zayed Road, opposite the Dubai Media and Internet Cities and Knowledge Village, and a short walk from the Emaar Business Park, the 161-unit world-class property has been designed with the business traveller in mind.
For after business hours, Layia Oak Hotel & Residence is also located close to the stunning Mall of the Emirates and the Ibn Battuta Mall, with the Emirates Golf Course also nearby.
Layia Oak Hotel & Residence will offer a selection of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, a choice of three food and beverage venues, three multi-purpose function rooms, a business centre, 24 hour state-of-the-art fitness centre, outdoor temperature controlled pool, children's pool, kid's playground, extensive landscaping and ample parking space.
"Layia Oak Hotel & Residence is centrally located in the business hub of New Dubai. However, we plan to offer much more than the standard box-room business hotel. Instead, our property offers a variety of spacious, self-contained apartments, complete with five-star hotel services. Business travellers spend a lot of time away from home and we think they will appreciate having the comforts of home while working away," said Mohamed Awadalla, Area General Manager, Layia Hospitality.
"Layia Oak Hotel & Residence is also perfect for those business executives who may be visiting Dubai on an extended contract and are therefore travelling with family. The apartments make an ideal family unit for those looking for accommodation for a few weeks or a few months," Awadalla remarked.
Each unit is designed as a self-contained unit, with LCD TV, cooker, microwave, washing/drying machine, fridge, and safe in each type of accommodation. Added to this is a wide array of hotel facilities and services, from 24-hour business support to in-room dining, 24 hour fitness centre, restaurants, Ladies Hair salon, nail spa with treatment rooms and massage rooms.
