As a family-friendly hotel group we are providing excellent facilities for a comfortabl­e family stay in Dubai. It consists of spacious suites with a well-designed living room including three different areas – dining area, fun and rest area and working area. Featuring an enclosed kitchenett­e and private balcony all our suites are designed in four different design styles to match even the most sophistica­ted taste from California­n to Modern, Classic and Mediterran­ean style.

Gloria Hotel and Yassat Gloria Hotel & Apartments are packed with entertainm­ent options for our youngest guests. The dedicated and experience­d staff at our kids clubs makes sure that the kids are having fun, learning and enjoying their time in a safe and wellequipp­ed environmen­t. The first two hours of the entertainm­ent programme are always free and our guests can enjoy games on the playground, swimming, coloring, henna, face painting, arts, crafts and video games. For our guests’ convenienc­e, babysittin­g service is also available.

Parents can indulge in the relaxing atmosphere at the SPA studio or delight in the views over Dubai by the pool with a cold beverage from our pool bar.

With a wide variety of dining outlets including inroom dining we strive to provide the best dining experience with cuisine from all around the world. Our signature restaurant­s — The Avenue and La Terrasse — have one of the best theme nights selection in the city including Asian, Arabian, Seafood night and Steak night to satisfy the cravings of the most discerned food lover.

Our close proximity to the metro station is a key advantage to attracting the family groups from CIS market. It provides quick connection to any area in Dubai and the most popular landmarks. One of the most popular compliment­ary services in our hotels is the compliment­ary shuttle bus, which is a great way to explore Dubai on a budget. We provide free pickup and drop-off service to Jumeirah open beach and Burjuman shopping centre three times daily. Dubai Outlet Mall and Dubai Marina walk, as some of the most popular tourist destinatio­ns, can also be reached via bus from our hotels.

Having one of the biggest inventorie­s on the hotel apartments market we are proud to announce that we have received a 4-star hotel classifica­tion for Yassat Gloria Hotel & Apartments. We have always been dedicated to exceed our guests’ expectatio­ns, thus, the 4-star license proved that our service quality is well deserved and will even set our standards higher.

We have launched our new group hotel website which combines all seven Gloria Hotels group properties under one domain and cap- tures all their specifics to provide an enjoyable and engaging online experience. It has been designed and developed to provide an optimal viewing experience — easy reading, navigation and booking across the widest range of devices from desktop computer to mobile phone.

2015 is a very successful year for Gloria Hotels and Resorts so far. Despite the downfall of the CIS market we have strengthen­ed our partner relations by the end of 2014 and beginning of 2015. We are expecting good amount of business by the end of this year due to the scheduled charter flights from CIS and Baltic countries. We are also focusing on markets like Germany, India and Turkey to close the gap from first quarter of 2015.
