The new 341 room Ritz-Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has opened its doors this week, becoming the second Ritz-Carlton hotel in Dubai.

Lothar Quarz, general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC was joined by hotel owners and senior leaders from The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company for a private official ribbon cutting ceremony.

“This day marks the beginning of an exciting new journey,” Quarz said.

“I am truly proud of our ladies and gentlemen who have worked hard to put the final details into place. It is their work ethic, commitment to providing the best service, and relentless determination that will elevate our guests’ experiences and set us apart from our competition.”

The hotel is the sixth property in the region for the company.

Herve Humler, president and chief operating officer for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, explained: “Being able to expand our presence in Dubai and be part of a region of substantial growth is a tremendous opportunity. Of course, we were quick to welcome the chance to provide an outstanding meeting venue for the international companies that already have a presence in this complex.”
