UAE gets first Copthorne Hotel

The amount of construction projects being undertaken in the  Middle East right now is amazing, and there seem to be more and more additions everyday. Dubai is the commercial Mecca of the Arab world, and seems to be pulling in just as many visitors as its literal namesake. But the people that come to Dubai are not here for the Haj, they’re here for the new Raj, but not in any colonial sense, but more to do with bargained for and bought European culture. And then there’s real estate…

The real estate market is booming like never before in Dubai, and now Millennium Hotels and Resorts has opened the region’s first Copthorne Hotel,  with 163 rooms overlooking Dubai Creek, and located only ten minutes from the international airport, and a 5-minute walk to the Deira City Centre shopping complex.

Reda Mouktar, the hotel’s general manager says, “We are delighted to be opening the first Copthorne Hotel for Millennium Hotels & Resorts in the region, in such an exciting growth market as Dubai. With an average room size of 40 to 135 sqm, the Copthorne Hotel Dubai will be a welcome addition to the deluxe hotel sector in Dubai, with services and facilities to rival any in the city. Whether for business travellers requiring spacious accommodations in which to work and relax, or suites and additional bedrooms for families, the hotel will cater to a varied market and nationality base.”
