The hotel provides a wide range of facilities and restaurants as well as open spaces that meet all the guests’ needs and will add great value to Dubai as a tourism, business and commerce hub,” Majid Al Marri said:
“The JW Marriott Marquis will add significantly to Dubai in its drive to become the preferred choice for Meetings, Incentives, Conference and Events business. We are working in tandem with the Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing and Dubai Convention Bureau to put Dubai on the global business destination map,” added Queitsch.
