Leading German hospitality company, Steigenberger Hotel Group has opened its first property in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – the five-star, waterfront Steigenberger Hotel Business Bay in Dubai. The flagship Steigenberger Dubai is right at the heart of the city close to the iconic Burj Khalifa – the world's tallest tower and the Dubai Mall in the cosmopolitan Downtown neighbourhood.

The hotel's 367 rooms include 28 suites designed for business and city leisure travellers while its four restaurants, which offer a variety of cuisine, all have fabulous views over Business Bay.

There is also a banqueting and conference area – with a daylight ballroom for 450 people, four meeting room options, a board room, library and outdoor terraces.

Leisure facilities include a spa, fitness centre, and pool terrace – all with panoramic city views. Underground car parking is available.

Puneet Chhatwal, CEO of Steigenberger Hotels AG, commented: "This new hotel at Business Bay re-affirms our commitment to international growth in general and the Middle East in particular.

"Dubai is now one of the world's leading tourism and business hubs and the perfect springboard to this important region. The new hotel is symbolic of our growing international presence at strategically important locations made possible through teaming with like-minded and expansion-oriented partners."

Further Steigenberger-managed properties currently in the pipeline include the InterCityHotel Culture Village in Dubai, and the Steigenberger Hotel Airport Road Doha.
