The only hotel based in the Dubai International Financial Center, just minutes from The Dubai Mall, The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC is offering an exclusive shopping experience ahead of the KSA holidays, created with the Saudi traveler in mind.

The five-star hotel has partnered with international retailer, Bloomingdale’s-Dubai, to create a shopping package for guests who travel to the UAE to enjoy Dubai Shopping Festival.

In 2013, The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai International Financial Center saw its number of Saudi guests increase by 22 percent compared with the previous year, and January saw the highest increase in room nights booked by Saudi nationals compared with 2012, as nearly 50 percent more Saudi nationals flocked to the luxury hotel during the public holiday to enjoy the shopping festival.

General Manager Lothar Quarz predicts even higher numbers of guests will travel from the Kingdom this year:

“Each January we welcome an increasing number of Saudi guests to the hotel who stay with us to benefit from our unique location, minutes from The Dubai Mall, the epicenter of Dubai Shopping Festival, and within walking distance to the internationally-renowned restaurants of DIFC. We know that our Saudi guests enjoy exclusive, luxury experiences, so we anticipate that our shopping package will prove incredibly popular with our Saudi guests this year.”

The new package, called ‘Shop with You’, will see guests of the hotel’s club, Ambassador and Royal Suites, enjoy a variety of luxury experiences, including a personal shopping session with Bloomingdale’s-Dubai style experts.

Guests can choose to enjoy the ‘At Your Service’ experience in The Dubai Mall store, benefiting from complimentary transportation to and from the mall, or within the privacy of the hotel, as the Bloomingdale’s-Dubai personal shopping team brings the latest collections from the store, straight to their suite.

Guests will also enjoy exclusive savings on purchases from Bloomingdale’s-Dubai, a ‘soul to sole’ foot massage in The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC Spa and access to The Ritz-Carlton Club Level, an exclusive lounge in which to relax and unwind after a hard weekend’s shopping, with complimentary Internet, food and beverage and a private concierge service.
