Palazzo Versace Dubai, a new luxury hotel in the Middle East, is now officially open for business.
The hotel is adjacent to the Dubai Creek and features 215 elegant rooms and 169 luxurious residences, a report from Live Trading News said on Thursday.
"The interiors will feature ceilings hand-detailed in gold, marbles and mosaics while the external design will include Versace motifs such as the Medusa head and the Greek Key. The grand lobby features a 1000 sqm marble mosaic floor, with bespoke furniture and textiles decorated with peacocks, falcons and horses," the report said.
According to the report, the luxurious Palazzo Versace Dubai is a joint venture of Versace and Enshaa Group. It was said that more than 100 specialist artisans were hired by the company to work on the different mosaics of the hotel's luxurious residences in the Middle East.
"Almost 90 per cent of the artisans working on Palazzo Versace Dubai were based in the UAE, but Versace's Italian origins are underlined by the fact that all the hand-cut marble and glass tesserae - the small pieces which make up a mosaic - for the palace were developed by an Italian master mosaic expert in Italy."
"Versace is a renowned fashion, luxury and lifestyle Company. Since the very beginning we've encompassed many product categories - from clothing to accessories, from luxury goods to the home collection - to convey the uniqueness and iconic style of the brand" said Gian Giacomo Ferraris, chief executive officer of Versace said, as quoted in GDN Online.
"In 2000, we pioneered the luxury fashion branded hotels opening the first Palazzo Versace Gold Coast, Australia and today we are proud to bring the ultimate Versace lifestyle in Dubai with the new hotel. The fine and luxurious designs by Versace will be present in every detail of the living environment, and luxury will become a lifestyle," he continued.
