The Address Downtown Dubai

The city of grandeur

Dubai, the city of excess and extravagance is a breeding ground for the maddest and costliest projects. This city, which can only be described in superlatives, was originally a small, simple pearl fishing port which represented its only source of revenue for centuries. The region, in reality inhospitable because of its torrid dry heat all year long, has become the second largest territory in the United Arab Emirates thanks to its reserves of oil, discovered in 1966. The economic boom which followed was a simple formality. The old fishing village became a city where projects rise up from the ground just like the oil and gas. Skyscrapers have become the base of the Dubai skyline, with taller and taller buildings rising up at an incredible pace. The Sheik Zayed Road, one of the city’s main avenues has a continuous line of gigantic edifices. Dubai is a modern technological nucleus in the heart of the desert, and is striking from all points of view, and luxury hotels are far from an exception.

Downtown, the neighbourhood of the future

The Address Downtown Dubai is a 306-meter high skyscraper located in the heart of downtown Dubai, a two-square kilometer quarter entirely designed by the real estate promoter, Emmar Properties. The Address is one of the eleven projects in downtown Dubai including the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain and the world’s largest commercial center, the Dubai Mall. The Address Downtown Dubai redefines the concept of urban luxury by integrating into the entirety, post-modern vertical structures. Thanks to its 63 floors, its 196 rooms measuring between 55 and 200 square meters and 626 private residences, the Address has become one of the symbols of hotel management in Dubai in its daring, de-complexed and infinite luxury. No service is lacking. The spa and fitness center is open 24/7. There’s a heated infinity swimming pool and seven gastronomic restaurants. Everything is available for the guest on a business trip or the tourist in search a resolutely urban and elegant hotel. The art deco inspired decorations give the hotel the charm of a boutique hotel that creates a pleasant contrast to the often overly decorated hotels in the region. Intimate in spite of its size, the Address is an ideal refuge for visitors wishing to enjoy the excessive pleasures of Dubai without the decorative kitsch.

The Burj Khalifa, the quarter’s major project is opposite the hotel. Its astronomical height of 828 square meters makes it the tallest edifice ever built by man…for the moment.
