Artistic in spirit and contemporary in presentation, the 197-room Manzil Downtown Dubai serves as a stylised hub that provides an imaginative interpretation of Arabian culture for Arab guests and a culturally stimulating experience for international visitors.
Philippe Zuber, Chief Operating Officer, Emaar Hospitality Group, said: “Arabian hospitality is truly unparalleled and serves as the fundamental growth driver of Dubai’s tourism sector. With Manzil, born and bred in Dubai, we are integrating our region’s cultural ethos with the convenience and comfort of modernity to offer distinctive value. Manzil Downtown Dubai stands apart across all touch-points – from design to décor and service standards – and will focus on engaging guests meaningfully and assuring them authentic must-return lifestyle experiences.”
He added: “The addition of Manzil Downtown Dubai to the Vida Hotels and Resorts portfolio also reflects our goal of connecting with the new generation of global travellers, especially local Emirati and GCC guests, who are discerning in their preferences, seek consistent value and cherish a fuss-free hospitality choice.”
