Grand Plaza Mövenpick Media City opens its doors this month offering something fresh and new in Dubai’s bustling tech and media hub. With 235 spacious rooms and suites – ranging from 46 to 94sqm – the hotel is perfectly placed to host business travellers, sun seekers and any holidaymakers keen to situate themselves in a vibrant urban destination.
All rooms utilise a neutral colour palette and provide views of the Palm Jumeirah and Arabian Gulf. Complimentary WiFi is offered throughout the hotel and the Executive Lounge offers an ideal workspace, tying in with overarching aim of encouraging possibilities wherever feasible for guests. There’s also impeccable attention to detail, with fixtures and fittings illuminated by the rich natural light flooding through the large windows.
On entering the atrium you’ll be sure to notice The Swoop – an iconic chandelier, comprised of 3,500 hand-blown crystals, acting as a spiraling centerpiece. The artistic masterpiece was specially designed by Katerina Handlova, inspired by the flight of the bird, a simple concept whose aerodynamic intricacies are captured perfectly.
Adding to the hotel’s stylish appeal, award-winning Dubai-based celebrity chefs Nick and Scott have opened their latest collaboration with Verve Bar & Brasserie, destined to become a dining destination in its own right. The hotel’s dining experience rings true to its Swiss origins, with the highest quality. It offers guests a choice of five lifestyle driven venues.
Choose from high tea at The Grand Lounge, the ‘neighbourhood deli’ Slice, healthy poolside options at Bytes, classic European dishes Verve Bar & Brasserie – the brainchild of the aforementioned Nick and Scott – and TWENTY THREE Rooftop Bar, the new hotspot on the block, combining panoramic urban vistas with light bites and 23 classic cocktails.
Other facilities include an expansive health club spanning the fourth floor and comprising an outdoor pool, gymnasium, sauna and steam rooms. The Spa by SensAsia, provides tailored and expertly delivered body treatments stemming from Balinese grace, Japanese elegance and Thai tradition.
