Al Habtoor City
Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, Founding
Chairman of the Al Habtoor Group
officially inaugurated The Hotel
Collection at Al Habtoor City along
with Marriott International at a VIP
event in early December. The much-
anticipated hospitality complex
comprises of three prominent five-
star luxury hotel brands, Dubai’s
first-ever St. Regis Dubai, the UAE’s
first W Hotel and the Middle East’s
largest Westin Hotel. The historical
event marked the first completed
project along the banks of the newly
launched Dubai Water Canal.
The Chairman joined Alex Kyriakidis,
President and Managing Director,
Middle East & Africa, for Marriott
International, Inc. The reception was
followed by a gala dinner at The
Westin Dubai, Al Habtoor City.
The night progressed to W Lounge
located on 30 floor of W Dubai – Al
Habtoor City, where guests mingled
while enjoying the spectacular night
view of Dubai’s skyline.
Highlights of the evening included
a special teaser of La Perle by
Dragone, the leading cultural creation
company. La Perle will make its debut
mid-2017 at Al Habtoor City in a
purpose-built aqua theatre nestled
between The St. Regis Dubai and
W Dubai - Al Habtoor City. Guests
were also treated to a Michelin Star
culinary experience curated by a fleet
of award-winning chefs from across
the complex.
Khalaf Al Habtoor said, “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.”
