Ramada Downtown completes soft refurbishment

Ramada Downtown Dubai proudly unveils its brand new look and feel after completing a soft refurbishment project to offer a more contemporary and stylish accommodation to its guests.

The project, which began in May, includes a makeover of the hotel’s suites and penthouse, lobby and lifts, and meeting rooms. Opting for pastel colours for the various fixtures, the suites and penthouse now exude a modern and vibrant feel, while the common areas including the lobby and lifts are decked in earth colours to give a more inviting and cosier ambiance. Ramada Downtown also adds a third meeting room, which along with the two meeting venues, combines chic elements with a retro twist. The all-day dining venue, Kenza Restaurant, which was re-launched in October, features newly-renovated interiors in shades of red and white and is complemented by stylish wood finish and Arabic ornaments.

Ramada Downtown, which opened in 2010, is R Hotels’ flagship property in Dubai. Samir Arora, the property’s General Manager, commented: “Ramada Downtown, along with the properties under R Hotels, seeks to provide comfortable and stylish accommodation, matched with high standards of service to every discerning guest. On top of our prime location, Ramada Downtown furthers its offerings through this upgrade. We are very happy that our brighter and fresher atmosphere receives positive feedback from our regular clients, who returned to the property.”

Arora added: “The hotel expects high occupancy during the winter and exhibition season. We have done an organised and cost-effective strategy in completing the renovation to ensure that all our rooms and facilities will be ready to accommodate the high influx of guests during this period.”

The refurbishment was carried out in different phases, starting with the lobby and restaurant, followed by the guest floors, one at a time. The hotel’s back of house areas, including the staff dining room, kitchen and laundry, also got a facelift to provide better facilities and work place for the staff.
