Dubai: Construction work on two exclusive developments on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah including a luxury hotel where all 250 rooms face the sea started today.
The Kempinski Palm Jumeirah Residence and the Emerald Palace Kemp-inski Hotel form part of the luxury Palms Project, a man made Palm tree shaped island off the coast of the city which is visible from space.
Dubai-based property developers Emerald Palace has teamed up with International hotel group Kempinski Hotels for the two projects. Kempinski will manage both properties for a period of 15 years.
Private beach
The Kempinski Palm Jumeirah Residence hotel and spa is a seven-storey boutique development set on the Palm Jumeirah Crescent, spread over a total land area of over 1m square feet with a 500 metre stretch of private beach. The project encompasses 200 one, two, three and four bedroom apartments ranging from 165 square metres to 1,300 square metres.
The launch of the two projects is to be the first of many exclusive developments, revealed Wessel Witthuh of the Emerald Palace Group.
"We were looking to partner with a hotel group to manage the projects, so that we can be confident that the facilities and services provided to residents will be truly world-class. Kempinski is a leader in the hotel industry, and brings with it experience in managing luxury hotels and residential projects. Their unique expertise will add considerable value to both The Kempinski Palm Jumeirah Residence and the Emerald Palace Kemp-inski Hotel," Witthuh added.
Facilities
Targeted at high-end residents, The Kempinski Palm Jumeirah Residence will provide a host of facilities, including private terraces and balconies, excellent recreational facilities, beautifully landscaped gardens, shopping arcade, secured parking and exclusive access to the private beach as well as the swimming and aquamarine facilities provided by the Emerald Palace Kempinski Hotel.
The Emerald Palace Kempinski Hotel, on the other hand, will be distinguished by its unique setting and world-class facilities.
All 250 rooms of the hotel face the sea, say the developers.
