Andreas Jersabeck, General Manager - Conrad Dubai

Hilton Worldwide has announced the signing of a management agreement with Palm Grove Beach Hotels, a part of the K. Raheja Constructions Group, to open the first Conrad hotel in India.  The launch of Conrad Pune in Maharashtra next year will mark the global contemporary luxury brand’s entry into the country. 

Glitterati from Dubai society celebrated the essential mix of modern elegance and rich local heritage of Conrad Dubai when Hilton Worldwide’s luxury brand held its official hotel opening ceremony earlier. More than 400 of Dubai’s elite crowd were enthralled by a cavalcade of thoughtfully planned cultured events threading the arts, music and cuisine into a seamless blend designed to capture the quintessential stylish and intuitive spirit that is Conrad Hotels & Resorts.

Conrad Hotels & Resorts has introduced the luxury hospitality segment’s first comprehensive pre check-in feature to its award-winning travel mobile application, Conrad Concierge. All guests at each of the Conrad brand’s 24 hotels worldwide can now find greater customisation and convenience at the touch of a button – from selecting pre-arrival amenities to ordering in room dining and enjoying mobile check-out. 

Hilton Worldwide brings its global brand for the new generation of smart luxury travellers, for whom life, business and pleasure seamlessly intersect, to UAE today with the official opening of Conrad Dubai. The 555-room luxury hotel marks the entry of Conrad Hotels & Resorts into the region, after the company’s regional opening of the Waldorf Astoria Ras al Khaimah hotel, which began welcoming guests in early August.
