Luxury real estate developer DAMAC Properties has opened its third luxury serviced hotel apartments in the Burj Area of Dubai — the DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin, which is managed by the company's hospitality arm, DAMAC Maison Hotels & Resorts. Walking distance to the Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain, DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin is open for business in this bustling area of Dubai after DAMAC Maison Dubai Mall Street and DAMAC Maison Canal Views. The official opening took place last week and was preceded by a special event for business partners from the travel & tourism industry who visited the project and received detailed first-hand information about the various aspects, facilities and services offered at this new luxury property. Segafredo Italian Café is a distinguished feature at the hotel, located at the ground floor and offering a perfect set-up for morning breakfast, lunches or casual meetings. This famous Italian chain launched in 1988 is in more than 60 countries in 5 continents and is growing rapidly around the world due to its special taste and quality serving the best Italian coffee and various food items. “DAMAC Properties is extending our hospitality offering in terms of quantity and quality for the visitors of Dubai,” said Niall McLoughlin, Senior Vice President, DAMAC Properties. “DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin, as with all DAMAC Maison projects, will offer various first-class options to clients searching for the best experience in town, be it for leisure or business.” He added: “The opening of DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin' couldn't have been timed better, especially during this very busy period that includes the festive season and the upcoming Dubai Shopping Festival that will generate a substantial increase in the number of visitors coming to Dubai.” Strategically located in the heart of the business, dining and shopping district of Dubai, this plush hotel is the ideal place for both business and leisure travelers alike, looking to shop in the world largest mall or to visit the well known water fountains in between many other attractions. Spreading across 19 floors, with more than 350 apartments, DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin offers refined living in comfortable deluxe rooms, with one, two and three bedroom suites on offer, all with exceptional services. One of the special features of DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin is the Chrysalis Spa, the second in town after the one launched at DAMAC Maison – Dubai Mall Street, offering the best body and skin treatments with specialized experts in the field. The terrace is another highlight of the project, with a total area of more than 4,300 sq ft and set on the first floor. It represents an excellent option for large functions and events that can be held around the swimming pool within a ‘green' set-up of natural plants giving an open and relaxed atmosphere in the middle of Downtown Dubai.
