Sofitel Luxury Hotels continues to grow its portfolio in the Middle East as it prepares for the opening of its new property in the heart of Dubai on May 1. With a prime location in the heart of this city, Sofitel Dubai Downtown offers views of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and the coast.

The Sofitel Dubai Downtown has a position right on Sheikh Zayed Road, across from Burj Khalifa. The hotel is a few hundred meters from The Dubai Mall and all major business and leisure destinations Dubai has to offer.

Sofitel Dubai Downtown blends Victor Vasarely inspired Op Art with Sofitel's passion for excellence and French art de vivre. A combination of geometric chic and an oasis of art, Sofitel Dubai Downtown is a “fresh and unique” property in the heart of the city.

“We are very proud to offer to the distinguished luxury traveler, a piece of France in Dubai with the opening of Sofitel Dubai Downtown,” said Klaus Assmann, general manager of the hotel. “Sofitel’s Luxury Hotels portfolio grows continuously around the globe and we are proud to gracefully link the French culture with the local culture in each property we operate. As we daily strive for excellence and exceeding our guest’s expectations, I am certain that this amazing hotel will attract discerning travelers from all over the world.”

The hotel’s 350 rooms showcase Op Art design, views of the Burj Khalifa and the coast. All rooms feature spacious marble bathrooms, deluxe French amenities such as Lanvin and Hermes along with Sofitel’s MyBed concept — an all-feather bed and extra light down duvet, free WI-FI and Nespresso coffee machine. The hotel has a large variety of rooms, including 76 suites with views of either Burj Khalifa or the coastline.
