Meet the Dubai Mall Hotel Meet the Dubai mall hotel: A marriage made in retail heaven Dubai is taking the shop-stay concept to new heights -- literally By Tamara Thiessen, for CNN 2 December, 2013 Like Share 58 people like this. Sign Up to see w hat your friends like. 7 All shopped out at the BurJuman Arjaan. “I never think that people die. They just go to department stores,” quipped Andy Warhol. Had he stayed around a little longer, he might have added, “… in Dubai.” The emirate is not only one of the world’s great shopping locations, it’s also at the pointy end of a powerful consumer trend: the rise of the “shopping hotel.” The growth of combined shopping malls and deluxe hotels either inside or adjoining them will be one of the Middle East’s top consumer developments in 2014 and beyond, predicts the market intelligence firm Euromonitor. Many cashed-up travelers come to Dubai primarily to shop. Stay at the mall and they save time and taxi rides. And they don't have to lug all those glossy shopping bags back to their hotel. The arrangement is just as sweet for hoteliers and retailers. Both seek the same high-end traveling clientele -- why not share them? Mall-hotel combos already exist in Dubai from the utilitarian to the seriously luxurious. However, even more lavish couplings are on the drawing board -- including the world’s tallest hotel-shopping extravaganza. The Address, Dubai Mall The Address jealously guards its position adjoining Dubai Mall, the world’s largest, where it opened in 2009. Since then, no other hotel has been granted development permission so close to this retail sanctum. The superlatives continue within the 1,200-shop, 50 football field-sized space, including the world’s largest gold souk. Wandering about the multi-story complex, you run into sheiks with prayer beads in one hand and cell phone and chunky gold Rolex in the other. More: The UAE's most outrageously luxurious hotel suites Their wives have enough shopping bags lining their arms to fill the backstage clothing rack at a Nice Address ... next to the world's largest shopping mall. Paris haute couture show. For the owners of The Address and Dubai Mall, it’s the perfect symbiosis -- even if the guests get lost for a while, they’ll only end up doing more shopping. The Address, Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, PO box 31166; +971 4 438 8888; doubles from $462 Sheraton Dubai Mall of the Emirates When the Pullman at the Mall of the Emirates closed earlier this year, the hotel simply changed its skin and became a Sheraton. The 481-room hotel flags its sleep-and-shop options on its website right next to the sweeping city views and hi-tech suites. The mall offers more than 560 fashion, electronics and other luxury retail brands, as well as diversions including Ski Dubai (yes, an indoor ski resort in this desert city) and Vox Cinemas. There are few human needs that can’t be satisfied in either hotel or mall and there’s little reason to leave either -- many guests probably don’t. Along with 46-inch LCD high-definition TVs, the hotel touts its proprietary Sweet Sleeper beds. With a pressure point-easing design, they’re supposedly good for curing jet lag -- so you’re ready to hit the tills at your best. If you really like the bed, you can buy one (starting from $995) and have it shipped home. Of course you can -- this is Dubai. Sheraton Dubai Mall of the Emirates, 1 Mall of the Emirates, Sheikh Zayed Road, al Barsha; +971 4 377 2000; doubles from $230 Pullman Dubai Deira City Center Is it a mirage? Dubai Ski. The Pullman: Fly in, shop, fly out. The Pullman Dubai Deira City Center is conveniently located about 15 minutes from the airport and about two minutes, via an underground passage, from the City Center mall. Truly fly-in, fly-out shopping, it sketches the shape of much to come in Dubai. Read: 9 of Dubai's most original eateries The suites are rather sober affairs with views of spaghetti junctions and golf courses. The mall, once Dubai's largest, now has a rather shopworn feel, but its 370 stores -- including a Carrefour superstore and Gap and H&M outlets -- are enough to satisfy most of the 20 million shoppers each year who don’t have a portion of the world’s oil reserves to fuel their spending. Pullman Dubai Deira City Center, Deira, Dubai; +971 4 294 1222, doubles from $217 BurJuman Arjaan by Rotana The BurJuman promises boutique shopping with your room key. Adjoining the BurJuman Arjaan by Rotana hotel, the Burjuman Mall aims for a boutique feel. The hotel is the place to stay if you find Dubai Mall too overwhelming but still want branches of Saks Fifth Avenue, Chanel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton and Valentino a stroll away. With separate living area, kitchenette, laundry and balcony, the brightly decorated suites provide for many of a traveler's needs. The small but well-chosen selection of outlets in the mall’s food court include Japanese, Indian and Italian options. If you want to work off the excess afterwards, robotic-looking machines in the hotel gym look as if they’ll do the exercise for you. Another part of the complex, the Burjurman metro station lets mall junkies whizz off to yet more Dubai shopping experiences. BurJuman Arjaan by Rotana, Sheikh Zayed Rd, Trade Center, Dubaija, Dubai; +971 4 352 4444; suites from $190 More malls, more hotels Scheduled for completion at the end of 2014, Dream Dubai in the Marina District will be the second tallest building in the emirate and the tallest hotel in the world. Adjoining the Marina Mall, the 432-meter, 101-floor waterside tower will be a mix of hotel rooms and service apartments, plus a pool, gym and squash courts -- and a nightclub where the penthouse would go if you could actually see anything from up there. What, no mall? Until now the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai’s palm-shaped artificial archipelago beloved of top-flight sports and film stars, has been mall-bereft. But not for long. More: 6 exotic Dubai escapes Only in Dubai ... world's tallest hotel planned for Dubai Marina. The Nakheel Mall and Hotel Complex is planned for completion by the end of 2016. Occupying the central trunk of the palm tree, the development will include a 50-story, 5-star, so far unnamed hotel. Finally, in true Ben Hur fashion, Dubai is trying for a new mall record. Set in sprawling Downtown Dubai grounds, the Mall of the World will attempt to steal the leviathan- mall title from the Dubai Mall. "The current [mall] facilities available in Dubai need to be scaled up in line with the future ambitions for the city," Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, emir of Dubai, said rather improbably of the plan. To cope with the projected 80 million shoppers visiting each year, 100 hotels are planned for the development. Palm Jumeirah -- shockingly mall-free..

  • Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity
    Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity Dubai’s hosting of the 2020 Expo further authenticates its status as an example of an emerging Arab city that displays modernity through sequences of fragmented urban- scapes, and introvert spaces. The 2020 Expo is expected to reinforce the image of Dubai as a city of hybrid architectures and new forms of urbanism, marked by technologically advanced infrastructural systems. This paper revisits Dubai’s spaces of the spectacle such as the Burj Khalifa and themed mega malls, to highlight the power of these spaces of repre- sentation in shaping Dubai’s image and identity. INTRODUCTION MOHAMED EL AMROUSI Initially, a port city with an Indo-Persian mercantile community, Dubai’s devel- Abu Dhabi University opment along the Creek or Khor Dubai shaped a unique form of city that is con- stantly reinventing itself.

Dubai’s Abu Dhabi University interest to make headlines of the international media fostered major investment in an endless vocabulary of forms and fragments to create architectural specta- cles. Contemporary Dubai is experienced through symbolic imprints of multiple policies framed within an urban context to project an image of a city offers luxu- rious dreamscapes, assembled in discontinued urban centers.

  • DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Dubai | 2019 0 Dubai has developed into the retail hub of the Middle East and is the most sophisticated retail market in the region. The proliferation of retail development over the last ten years has led to Dubai having one of the highest retail to population densities in the world. It finished ahead of New York and London for shopping in TripAdvisor’s recently published second annual Cities Survey. Perhaps the best known of Dubai’s plentiful selection of retail malls is The Dubai Mall which is located in the heart of the prestigious Downtown Dubai and is one of the world’s most-visited retail and entertainment destination, having welcomed more than 80 million visitors annually over the last five years. Dubai Mall provides over 1,350 retail stores and over 200 food and beverage outlets, together with leisure and entertainment attractions. Its most recent expansion in 2017 provides connectivity to the attractions and amenities in the neighbouring Burj Khalifa. Other high- profile retail malls that dominate the retail market include Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Festival City. International retail brands are predominantly operated under license by ‘retail partners’ who hold licenses for multiple brands in their portfolios. These include groups such as Al Shaya, Landmark and Majid Al Futtaim. Often these retail operators can also be mall developers in their own right. These companies are very powerful in the retail sector and can make the difference between a new mall development securing attractive brands or struggling to attract the right brands and potential failure.

  • For Festivals/Events/Organizations Who Generated Publicity Through a Media Stunt to Promote Their Event/Cause Etc.)
    Most Creative / Effective News Stunt (For Festivals/Events/Organizations who generated publicity through a media stunt to promote their event/cause etc.) 1. Overview Information: Please provide a detailed overview explaining the following, using no more than one (1) page to explain each section: a. Introduction & background of campaign / event “Eid in Dubai” was launched in 2008 by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), an agency of the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing in Dubai (DTCM). It came third in line in the portfolio of mega-events organized by DFRE, after the world renowned Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) in 1996, and Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) in 1998. While DSF aims at promoting Dubai as a shopping destination, and DSS promotes the emirate as a summer holiday destination, ‘Eid in Dubai’ was launched as a social/cultural celebration inspired by the values of the Islamic “Eid” which is celebrated by millions of Muslims around the world twice a year during Eid Al Fitr following Ramadan, the month of fasting, and Eid Al Adha, following the annual Hajj, or Pilgrimage. The “Eid in Dubai” campaign supported the concept of Dubai as a year-round destination by promoting Dubai as a destination of choice for tourists during the Eid holidays. The festival was built around the values traditionally associated with Eid, which is all about giving, sharing and togetherness along with the region’s deep-rooted hospitality and cultural traditions, including gift-giving among family and friends. DFRE embraces these values in all the events and festivities that are included in its “Eid in Dubai” activities.

  • The Best of Dubai
    04_281956-ch01.qxp 8/14/08 11:40 PM Page 1 1 The Best of Dubai In Dubai, just about everything is meant to be the biggest and the best. And it’s no joke: Here you’ll find the world’s tallest building, the largest man-made islands, the richest horse race, the biggest shopping festival, and soon the most extensive entertain- ment complex, the most massive mall, and the biggest hotel. People who live here will tell you that Dubai is always changing—that’s an under- statement. Dubai is growing so fast that it hardly seems recognizable from one year to the next. The city’s only competition these days seems to be with itself. Who can keep up? Construction cranes everywhere work relentlessly to continue raising a modern metropolis out of the desert sand. Once completed, the Palm Island Deira will be twice the size as the Palm Jumeirah. Mall of Arabia will eclipse Mall of the Emirates, which is already the biggest shopping center outside North America. The 25-story Ski Dubai will soon be dwarfed in size by the Snowdome being built in Dubailand, which itself will house the largest collec- tion of theme parks on the planet. Asia-Asia will take over as the world’s largest hotel. Each project is bigger, bolder, and significantly more expensive. The skyline is being filled with more architecturally daring high-rises. The land is being carved with new canals and marinas. The sea is being gifted with new artificial islands. In other words, nothing is constant.

  • The Dubai Logistics Cluster
    THE DUBAI LOGISTICS CLUSTER Alanood Bin Kalli, Camila Fernandez Nova, Hanieh Mohammadi, Yasmin Sanie-Hay, Yaarub Al Yaarubi MICROECONOMICS OF COMPETITENESS COUNTRY OVERVIEW The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates, each governed by its own monarch. The seven Emirates - Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain - jointly form the Federal Supreme Council, which chooses a president every five years. Since independence from Britain in 1971, the ruler of Abu Dhabi has been elected as the president, while the ruler of Dubai has been elected as the Vice President and Prime Minister. Abu Dhabi serves as the capital and each emirate enjoys a high degree of autonomy. The country is strategically located in the Middle East, bordering the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, Oman and Saudi Arabia. It occupies a total area of 83,600 km2 with around 1,318 km of coastline1. The population is estimated to be 9.3 million in 2015 with only 13% nationals2. UAE Economic Performance The UAE is an oil rich country, with most of its oil and gas production coming from Abu Dhabi. The country was ranked eighth worldwide in terms of oil and gas production in 2012 and seventh in terms of reserves3. Since the UAE’s establishment, oil revenues have been used strategically to develop basic infrastructure and provide UAE citizens with government services including subsidized utilities, free education, and medical services. As a result of oil price fluctuation, the country has understood the importance of diversifying away from this resource and started to develop its petrochemical sector.
