IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG®), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has further expanded its footprint in the region and continues bringing new brands to new markets with the opening of the first Staybridge Suites® in Dubai South in Al-Maktoum Airport, on October 17 2020. Renowned globally since 1997, Staybridge Suites is IHG’s upscale extended stay hotel brand that offers an elevated, residential-style hotel designed for multi-night business travellers and leisure travellers looking to break from the travel norm while on the road, be it for days or even months at a time.
Designed to meet the needs of guests who may be staying for extended periods of time, the hotel comprises 262 spacious, contemporary-designed suites perfect for business and leisure travelers on long stays, providing guests with a home away from home. Only 20 minutes away from Expo 2020 Dubai.
The hotel’s location provides travelers with ease of access to the airport, key business districts and nearby attractions including Dubai Parks and Resorts and The Outlet Village Mall. More home than hotel, guests have the option between one or two-bedroom suites and studios, that blend contemporary and distinctive design with elevated touches for a comfortable and familiar experience. Each well-appointed unit features its own fully equipped kitchenette complete with a refrigerator, dishwasher and countertop cooking hob as well as a workspace and comfortable living area.
Guests can start the day with a daily complimentary breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant, as well as have flexibility of access to the common kitchen, fully equipped with a coffee machine, oven and grill, perfect for quick snacks and wholesome meals throughout the day. In addition, the hotel hosts The Social, the brand’s signature event, three times a week, creating an informal gathering for guests to relax and enjoy complimentary bites and drinks while engaging with other guests staying at the hotel. With comfortable and flexible spaces, an outdoor swimming pool and state-of-the-art health club, guests have endless opportunities to relax, recharge and socialize with family and friends.
