Shamal Holding has unveiled details of the UAE’s first Baccarat Hotel, and said it is on course to redefine hospitality in the city. The 145-key property promises unparalleled architecture, interiors and dining experiences alongside quality amenities and services.
The hotel aims to offer visitors luxury accommodation, reflective of the brand’s craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Classic King, Queen and Suite rooms will have a modern luxury ambience, furnished with refined comforts with marble finishings and original artworks, Shamal Holding said in its statement.
Occupying the floors above the hotel are ultra-exclusive branded residences, which are intended to give occupants the ‘Everyday Baccarat’ experience through the same inspirational design as the hotel.
Baccarat Hotel is being developed in collaboration with H&H Development, a Dubai-based real estate investor, developer and asset manager as well as SH Hotels & Resorts, the company behind the Baccarat Hotels & Resorts brand, who will operate the property. The project’s architectural design is by Studio Libeskind, with interiors by 1508 London.
“This remarkable and industry-defining project will set a new standard of ultra-luxury hospitality in the city. We have collaborated with our esteemed partners at Shamal Holding to bring this iconic new masterpiece to the Downtown Dubai skyline and we very much look forward to seeing it come to life,” said Miltos Bossinis, Chief Executive Officer, H&H Development.
Raul Leal, CEO, SH Hotels and Resorts added, “Baccarat Hotel Dubai marks a new chapter in the brand’s legacy, bringing its unparalleled craftsmanship and artistry to a remarkable city. The meticulously crafted spaces embody the Baccarat spirit, where comfort meets sophistication, offering guests and residents access to unforgettable opulence, with every detail designed to reimagine the art of living.”
Commenting on the debut Abdulla Binhabtoor, Chief Executive Officer, Shamal Holding said, “We are immensely proud to bring the first Baccarat Hotel to the UAE, offering discerning guests an opportunity to experience a brand that has set the global standard in luxury for over 250 years. Rooted in artistry and unparalleled craftsmanship.”
“The property draws inspiration from Baccarat’s iconic crystal heritage, while the breathtaking setting in Downtown Dubai will complement its regal elegance. This development represents our commitment to offering extraordinary, bespoke experiences, and is perfectly timed to coincide with the global increase in demand for ultra-luxury tourism,” Binhabtoor concluded.
