Intercon Hotel at Dubai Festival City

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is the first of three InterContinental Hotels Group properties to open at Festival City. The project is the largest in the history of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), and three properties opening simultaneously within the same location is also a first for the group. The 36 floor InterContinental Dubai Festival City managed by Dieter Franke has a total of 500 ultra stylish rooms, including 121 Suites, three Presidential Suites and one Royal Suite. The rooms consist of a series of interlocking zones for maximum flexibility and privacy and each contains a large bathroom with a wet zone and splash area. All have stunning views of either the historic Dubai Creek, the city skyline or the world-class shopping centre, the Festival Waterfront Centre. InterContinental Hotels and Resorts has been in the region catering for sophisticated business and leisure travellers for over 40 years. The InterContinental Dubai Festival City is a landmark property as the 150th hotel in the brand’s global portfolio. The hotel offers sports and recreational facilities dedicated to fulfil the needs of any traveller, whether they desire a full work-out session, or simply to unwind and enjoy themselves. The leisure deck includes an outdoor 25 metre pool, children’s splash pool and three outdoor spa pools, and the state of the art gym sports the latest fitness equipment including the Kinesis ‘free weights’ range. Spa InterContinental features 700 square metres of wellness facilities including eight treatment suites and two VIP couples spa suites. A variety of treatments are available from experienced therapists, including holistic therapies infusing unique Arabic and Asian techniques. Opening with the hotel are two splendid food and beverage outlets. ‘Anise’ is a world-food restaurant catering to a total sensory experience, integrating the diner into the kitchen. Cuisine from all over the world is prepared and served from live cooking stations around the restaurant, keeping diners on the edge of their seat with excitement. The Vista lobby lounge and bar is a large and luxurious venue that curves the Creek, framing stunning views across the water, and also the striking silhouette of the towers and skyscrapers of ‘Sheikh Zayed Road’ in the centre of Dubai. Vista Lounge will be a place to sit and enjoy exquisite décor and the impeccable views, and to sample delicious and funky beverages at the bar which appears to be floating above the promenade at the edge of the infinity pool. The hotel features eight superb restaurants and eateries, including ‘Reflets par Pierre Gagnaire’. Set to be the sixth and sexiest restaurant in the three star Michelin chef’s repertoire, ‘Reflets’ is an example of exceptional fine dining in Dubai.
