Le Royal Meridien to Undergo Huge Refurbishment
FEBRARY 7, 2014 - Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort + Spa, Dubai's timeless beach side oasis, has revealed its highly anticipated refurbishment plans following an era of change and innovation.
Situated along the golden sands of Jumeirah Beach with the glittering towers of Dubai Marina as its backdrop, the award winning Le Royal Meridien is a leisure destination that continues to evolve and innovate alongside the glorious emirate of Dubai, maintaining its position as one of the Middle East's premier spa and beach resorts.
The first stage of the renovation extends from the re-development and re-design of 108 rooms in Tower One and refurbishment of the public areas, to two new international branded food and beverage concepts, Geales - London's finest seafood restaurant and lounge by Concept Venues, closely followed by Zengo - an eclectic concept by celebrity Chef Richard Sandoval, serving Pan-Oriental fare.
The new, spacious, bright and elegant 108 rooms, restyled as the first new Le Meridien concept resort rooms, are available for booking, offering 24-hour butler service and a fresh new perspective on decor, amenities and comfort.
Decorated in contemporary pastels and complimented by light solid wood furniture, the new rooms will feature a signature Le Meridien Discovery Wall that takes inspiration from the serene and calming sea urchin, to create a tranquil and sophisticated feel.
Walls are adorned with meticulously handcrafted art influenced by Le Meridien Coffee Culture, using coffee beans as natural materials and elements to create intriguing pieces that embrace local cultural discovery.
Each room features Le Meridien signature beds, walk-in showers and bathtubs and Cinqmondes bathroom amenities.
Pam Wilby, complex general manager, Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort + Spa and Grosvenor House Dubai, commented: “The refurbishment plans reflect a new era of change and innovation for Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort + Spa, as the property is reimagined for a new generation of global luxury travelers and UAE residents alike.
“The hotel is one of the most established beach resorts and spas in Dubai and as part of our continued journey to provide enriching experiences to our loyal guests and dynamic mix of new visitors to the hotel, the newly refurbished property will include 108 redesigned rooms and suites, two new global branded F&B concepts and a refreshed approach to operations.
“Meanwhile, Le Royal Meridien is investing in recruiting a vibrant team of fresh thinking and energized associates. Together these developments mark a significant milestone in the property's history in Dubai,” Wilby concluded.
