The Copthorne Hotel Dubai recently undertook a major refurbishment project, upgrading its guest rooms, pool, gym, restaurant, and technology.

New meeting facilities, a conference and training centre, and new retail and commercial space were also added to the Dubai Creek hotel.

“When it comes to a hotel refurbishment, it is an ongoing process,” said Copthorne Hotel general manager Alaa A. Salameh. “Our objective is to continuously maintain standards while adding new features.”

The renovation was achieved in stages. Salameh said the hotel’s biggest task was keeping the property and comfortable for guests open while expanding the meeting facilities and adding a ballroom, boardroom, and outdoor event space.

The guestrooms were redecorated with new materials and outfitted with high speed Internet connections in an attempt to stay current with international hospitality brands.

Salameh said the Copthorne endeavoured to reuse as much existing material as possible instead of discarding it. However, the recreation and restaurant facilities were completely refurbished. The hotel plans to open a new Indian restaurant in the near future.

“The guests are extremely pleased with the changes and embracing the ‘new look’ whole heartedly,” commented Salamed. “We hope our new Indian restaurant will become a popular destination serving the finest Indian specialties.”
