The Sheraton Grand Hotel in Dubai, UAE, is targeting delegates visiting the Dubai World Trade Centre opposite and the nearby Dubai Convention Centre as it prepares for its soft opening on 22 November.

The 474-bedroom five-star hotel and 180 serviced apartments is set to feature a 1,000sq m (10,764sq ft) Shine Spa on the 52nd floor of the 54-storey building. Other leisure features at the hotel include a fitness centre, a rooftop pool and bar, in addition to four food and beverage outlets.

The interiors comprise Mashrabiya designs and white marble, in addition to three chandelier balls in the lobby, a grass bank, water fountain and fireplaces.

This will be the fifth Sheraton to open in Dubai, however Starwood are confident that the new hotel will not draw guests away from its existing properties as this new building has its own attractions nearby, including Dubai Mall – the world's largest shopping mall based on total area.
