The Fairmont Dubai
is proof positive that business and pleasure can be combined to dramatic
effect in prestige hotel projects. A landmark structure in the corporate
heart of the city, the Fairmont provides for both the ultimate business
traveler and those seeking the ultimate in leisure and recreation.
The hotel’s
virtual offices, DSL lines and wireless internet facilities provide
a stark contrast to the hand-crafted mosaics of its Romanesque Spa,
Jacuzzi and swimming pools. This combination of modern and traditional
is further enhanced by multi-cultural influences in its striking interior
design.
