Hotel Location & Layout

Location Description

The hotel is situated in a new development in the desert near Jebel Ali and its location means it has good access to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The Green Community is a mixed development of low rise housing, commercial areas and shopping. It has the significant benefit of being away from the main centre of Dubai with its congestion and construction, but at the same time it has good access for Jebel Ali Industrial Zone, Internet and Media Cities, as well as the new Sports City development. For those guests interested in leisure, the hotel is 15 minutes from three championship golf courses and 45 minutes from the Sheraton Golf Course in Abu Dhabi. For leisure, the major shopping malls at the Mall of the Emirates, the largest in Dubai, is only twenty minutes away by road, as is Ski Dubai. The hotel is about fifteen minutes by road from the beach facilities which guests have complimentary access to.

Cranley Comment

Guests enter into the hotel lobby area through double sliding glass doors and are greeted by a small Romanesque style fountain straight ahead. The fountain cleverly conceals the lifts, which are on the other side. The reception desk is located to the left, with the small shop on one side of it and the business centre on the other. Beyond the reception, a walkway leads to the restaurants and the fitness centre. The lobby is a long narrow shape with the Rendezvous Lounge located opposite the reception desk. The lounge has very large, almost floor to ceiling windows and overlooks the hotel's pool terrace and the adjoining lake. The lobby itself has a Mediterranean style theme, with terracotta coloured floor tiling and walls.

Cranley Comment

The hotel has three types of accommodation, with Standard Rooms, Junior Suites and Executive Suites. The four Executive Suites have a lake view, as do three of the six Junior Suites and almost half of the 155 Standard Rooms. The remaining rooms and suites have a view towards the distant desert, although nearby development means the desert is receding. Some of the Standard Rooms have balconies overlooking the lake. The Junior Suites come in either a one room or two room type, although they are a similar size and all Junior Suites have a double washbasin in the bathroom. All rooms and suites are decorated in a similar contemporary style, with a blue and yellow theme. Keycards are used to access all bedrooms and suites and also to activate the electricity supply in the rooms.

The hotel has a number of meeting rooms, hospitality areas and conference facilities, that have the full range of audio visual equipment. Full catering facilities can be provided for all of the venues.

Cranley Comment

The hotel's main meeting and conference facilities are located on the first floor and they have a separate large entrance, as well as being accessible from within the hotel. The Ballroom is available either as one large venue, or using one or two of the separate smaller ballrooms. For hotel guests, there is good internet connectivity in the rooms but wireless only works in the hotel lobby area and in the meeting rooms. The business centre has two PC terminals but is open plan to the lobby, so lacks an element of privacy.

Golf

Emirates Golf Club

Description

This was the first grass course in the Gulf region when it opened in 1988. The club features two championship courses; the Majlis and the Wadi. The Majlis was the original course and was designed by Florida based designer Karl Litten. The Wadi opened in 1996 and was re-designed in 2007 by Nick Faldo. Despite a number of new courses, it still ranks as one of the best in Dubai. It has hosted the Dubai Desert Classic fifteen times for the last six years in succession.

Montgomerie Dubai

Description

Covering more than 265 acres of landscaped turf, gardens and lakes, this spectacular golf course provides the player with undulating "links land" style fairways which challenge and intrigue all levels of player. Placement of the drive to the generous fairways remains the cornerstone of any good round. The flat landing area of each fairway can be challenging to find, but a rewarding adventure. With 14 lakes and 81 bunkers, The Montgomerie Dubai, the first and only example of the association between golfing great Colin Montgomerie and Desmond Muirhead, adds a distinctive variety to the golfing landscape of the region.

One of the signature holes is the par 5 fourth, dubbed the Snake hole for its saddleback fairway which doglegs towards the green, with 2 bunkers behind forming the eyes of the snake. Further on, the par 5 ninth, with water down the left, is a tough finish to the opening half. The par 3 thirteenth, a hole designed in the shape of the UAE, boasts a 360 degree teeing area around an island fairway and green, allowing for a completely different golf hole to be played every time. However, it is the par 5 eighteenth that offers a more classic test. At 656 yards it is a monster and, with water protecting the front of the green, it defies even the best player to hit the green in two.

As a new hotel, the Courtyard by Marriott has been designed with special needs taken into consideration. It has three adapted rooms, as well as ramp alternatives wherever there are staircases. For example, there are steps leading into the Pine Grill restaurant, but a separate ramp has been built as part of the hotel design.

Environment

Measures

Recycling
Energy Saving
Minimise Cleaning Materials
Water Saving

Cranley Comment

The hotel attempts to minimise detergent use and save water, by giving guests the option of having towels and sheets changed on request, rather than daily. In addition, the hotel recycles water for the gardens. Marriott's Environmentally Conscious Hospitality Operations program (ECHO) focuses on water and energy conservation, clean air initiatives, wildlife preservation, "reduce-reuse-recycle" waste management, and clean-up campaigns.
