Jumeirah's Approach
Housekeeping manager of Mina A’Salam, Madinat Jumeirah, Saskia Polhout has been working with the Jumeirah Group for the last seven years and she is more aware than anyone of the requirements for outdoor commercial furniture.

“The furniture should always be comfortable, durable and fit within the interior/exterior design of the area,” she explains.
“In a resort like Madinat Jumeirah, where everything is presented in a traditional style of Arabian opulence, aesthetics play a very important role, alongside high quality and long-lasting factors. Only a combination of all these can bring a beautiful result.”
She is also very aware of the need for quality products to avoid quick discolouration and asks suppliers for at least a one year replacement warranty against fading.
When working for a resort the size of Madinat Jumeirah, with its three hotels, the outdoor furniture must cater towards a wide range of guests — from small children through to honeymooners, and everyone in between. It is therefore essential to have enough quality suppliers on hand to deliver, something Polhout believes she is blessed with.
“Madinat Jumeirah works with several long-term partners and we are satisfied with the quality of the products. They meet our luxury standards and at the same time keep our guests in comfortable, beautiful and relaxed atmosphere,” she explains.
“After many years in hospitality, I came to a certain conclusion that it is better to invest in high quality furniture, which costs more, but in the end gets a better result, a satisfied guest and a reliable reputation.”
