Sofitel has launched its first branded residences project in Dubai in association with Azha Development and Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty.
Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai will combine the luxurious service of a five-star hotel with the comfort of home and offer 70 exceptional residences, creating a haven in the heart of the city.
Located in the iconic Downtown Dubai district, just a stone’s throw from Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai will provide unparalleled access to world- class restaurants, cultural attractions and renowned boutiques.
Residents will experience a unique blend of Middle Eastern culture and modern French aesthetics, seamlessly integrated into every living space.
“As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Sofitel brand throughout 2024, this project marks an exciting new chapter for us, bringing our signature French zest and heartfelt service to the real estate market in Dubai,” said Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel, Sofitel Legend, MGallery and Emblems.
“Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai will set a new standard in luxury living, offering an unmatched lifestyle experience in one of the city’s most exclusive areas.
“With Sofitel’s rich heritage and our ongoing commitment to redefining luxury living, this project is the perfect fit for the branded residences market.
“We are thrilled to welcome future residents to this unparalleled living experience in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.”
The six exceptional penthouses and 64 residences offer a variety of premium amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a café, an immersive cinema room and a health club with a stunning 15-metre swimming pool.
Additional services such as a 24/7 concierge, valet services and à la carte options inspired by Sofitel’s French zest like personal chefs, childcare and in-residence housekeeping are available to ensure that residents enjoy an elevated lifestyle.
This new residential development further strengthens Sofitel’s presence in the luxury segment in UAE, targeting the real estate business and diversifying its business lines.
