TheJW Marriott Marquis Dubai Hotel is theworld's 3rd tallest hotel: a 72-storey, 355 m (1,165 ft) twin-tower skyscraper complex inDubai,United Arab Emirates. TheAED1.8 billion complex features a 1,608-room hotel run byMarriott International.
This project, owned by theEmirates Group, was originally conceived as a single, 350 m (1,150 ft), 77-storey tower intended to be completed in 2008 and built alongside theSheikh Zayed Road. However, its design and location had to be changed because of the construction of a creek extension belonging to theBusiness Baymegaproject. The new twin-tower design was launched at theArabian Travel Market in Dubai in 2006 with 395 m (1,296 ft) towers.[7] However, the shape of the towers was modified and the height decreased to 355 m (1,165 ft) in a later redesign.[citation needed] The concrete structural frames of both towers topped out in April 2010. By April 2011, the spires on both towers had been added and the outer structure of both towers almost completed. The buildings were completed in 2012, surpassing theRose Rayhaan by Rotana as the world's tallest hotel.[citation needed]
With the first tower open, the hotel comprises 14 food and beverage outlets, rooftop bars, a business center, conference halls and meeting rooms, an extensive banquet hall, a 3,700 m2 (40,000 sq ft) spa and health club, as well as retail outlets, a swimming pool, and a gymnasium.[8][9]
The 2B+G+82[clarification needed] storey twin towers were completed in November 2012.
The hotel has 1364 standard guest rooms, 240 suites, 4 "presidential suites", a banquet hall, an auditorium, 18 Shops, 19 restaurants and a spa.
The form is inspired by the date palm. The towers are symmetrically placed on the 7-storey high podium to get views of the Burj Khalifa, Business Bay and the sea. The podium houses all the public areas, restaurants, banquet hall and back of house areas. The entrance lobby is 4 floors high and overlooks the Business Bay. The 1,000 capacity banquet hall has an independent access.[citation needed]
