The Metropolitan Hotel Dubai has re-opened its doors after being closed for more than three-and-a-half years.
Situated in a new location, in the heart of the city, on Sheikh Zayed Road near Exit 41 (Al Thanya Street), the property is already welcoming back previous loyal guests and familiar faces.
“Today, I have kept and fulfilled my promise of rebuilding the Metropolitan Hotel to continue its legacy,” said Khalaf Al Habtoor, Chairman, Al Habtoor Group. “The old Metropolitan had a very strong, loyal customer base. We look forward to welcoming them back at the new premises, where they will see the return of some of the best-loved outlets, and we look forward to welcoming new guests.”
The original Metropolitan Hotel, which was built in 1979, was demolished in May 2013 to make way for Al Habtoor City, an urban resort incorporating three hotels and luxury residential towers on The Dubai Water Canal. The demolition of the Metropolitan also saw the closure of The Red Lion English pub, one of the oldest English pubs in Dubai and Don Corleone Italian Restaurant, another popular destination for residents of Dubai. Both The Red Lion and Don Corleone have been revived and incorporated into the new hotel.
The hotel features 320 rooms including 18 suites and facilities including a well-equipped gym, a rooftop swimming pool and a beautifully appointed spa.
