Opening ceremonies seem to be hitting Dubai like a tidal wave this season but perhaps the single most prominent one must definitely be the inauguration of Al Habtoor City, Hotel Collection. The VIP event established by Al Habtoor Group Founding Chairman Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor highlights the foundation of three top-notch five-star luxury hotel brands, from Dubai’s first St. Regis Dubai to UAE’s first W Hotel and the region’s largest Westin Hotel.

“The Al Habtoor City, Hotel Collection is one of three exceptional collections within this unique landmark development. We are delighted to have Marriott International as our partners for the Hotel Collection where we have encapsulated three exceptional brands under one roof. Al Habtoor City has already earned its place on the Dubai skyline as a landmark destination alongside The Dubai Water Canal. We look forward to the completion of the Leisure Collection and Residence Collection next year,” commented Khalaf Al Habtoor.

Everyone who’s anyone attended the high-end event and participated in a rich journey, experiencing all three hotels in all their glory and of course being treated to a Michelin Star culinary experience. Kicking off the ride in the Versailles Gardens of The St. Regis Dubai, they witnessed the official inauguration of the destination by Al Habtoor. The event carried on with a gala dinner at The Westin Dubai, Al Habtoor City and then to W Lounge located on the 30^th floor of W Dubai, giving guests a peek of the splendid Dubai skyline. It was truly a night to remember, tamed by a special teaser of La Perle by Dragone, the leading cultural creation company which will be making it’s entrée to Al Habtoor City mid-2017.

The Al Habtoor City Hotel Collection is now presenting the region with nearly 18 restaurants and lounges, two spas, 34 meeting and banqueting spaces and most importantly, three state-of-the-art ballrooms. And you’ll be happy to know that new arrivals will be invading A Habtoor City, from La Perle by Dragone to AL Habtoor City Tennis Academy and Al Habtoor City Residential Collection.
