Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is opening the first international five-star hotel in Jumeirah Lakes Towers.

The Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers is the sixth hotel in Dubai to be managed by the upscale Swiss hospitality company.

“Many major global corporations are relocating to Jumeirah Lakes Towers and this is creating a diverse, exciting neighbourhood,” said Andreas Mattmüller, chief operating officer, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts Middle East and Asia.

“Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts believes there is exceptional potential here and we expect to thrive as a major hospitality and social hub at the heart of this energetic environment.”

Jumeirah Lakes Towers is a lakefront community that is just minutes from the city’s most important business districts, commercial free zones and airports including the new Dubai World Central Al Maktoum International Airport.

With large man-made lakes and 64 contemporary towers, Jumeirah Lakes Tower has become one of Dubai’s fastest growing new districts with more than 50,000 people working and living in the area and 6,500 companies using it as a business base.

It is a perfect location for the 168-room Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers, which offers expansive views of the Dubai Marina skyline and the tranquil waters of the lakes while being easily accessible from The Palm Jumeirah, Burj Khalifa and Dubai’s famous beaches.

“Our setting is striking and we have worked hard to ensure that the personality of the hotel is relaxed, inviting and unpretentious as well as providing a lively atmosphere that reflects our inspirational surroundings,” said general manager Hayden Edgtton.
