InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) in partnership with Ishraq Gulf Real Estate Holding Co. has officially opened Holiday Inn Express Jumeirah in Dubai. The hotel is the third Express property to open in Dubai and the second to open under the brand's new name following last year's announcement of the worldwide relaunch of the Holiday Inn brand family.

Holiday Inn Express Jumeirah has 193 modern and spacious rooms, with comfortable beds, a unique pillow menu option and enhanced en-suite facilities which include a power shower.  The hotel also provides a fitness centre, restaurant, a bar and two meeting rooms. 

Commenting on the opening, John Bamsey, Chief Operating Officer, IHG, Middle East and Africa (MEA), said: "Holiday Inn Express delivers an uncomplicated hotel experience, perfect for seasoned business travellers, families and large groups - and these customers are a growing market in Dubai."

Holiday Inn Express Jumeirah is close to Dubai's major business districts as well as shopping malls and the beach, ensuring that the needs of both business and leisure travellers are met.
