Address Downtown reopens after New Year's Eve blaze

Dubai: The Address Downtown has re-opened to hotel guests, nearly three years after a fire engulfed much of the building on New Year’s Eve 2015.

Emaar, the hotel’s owner, says that the refurbishment brings with it new restaurants, additional rooms and suites, and a spa.

Olivier Harnisch, chief executive officer of Emaar Hospitality Group, said in a statement: “Address Downtown holds a very special place in the hearts of all discerning travellers and guests. Defined by its central location overlooking Burj Khalifa, the hotel has consistently secured the world’s leading tourism and hospitality awards.”

“With the opening of Address Downtown, Emaar is bringing to life a crowning glory in its hotel assets. Working with world-leading designers and consultants, the all-new Address Downtown ushers in an exceptional lifestyle choice and set new standards in luxury hospitality,” he added.

With a brand new interior design, the hotel will also boast a number of new restaurants, including Turkish restaurant The Galliard, and steakhouse STK.
