The elevator pitch
Business Traveller gives Luke James, General Manager at the new Hyde Hotel Dubai, five minutes to pitch his property to prospective guests
The recently opened Hyde Hotel Dubai is a hideaway in the heart of the city, offering a new kind of bespoke hospitality. We wanted to create a hotel environment that celebrates true discovery and authentic human connection, where guests experience iconic, personal, and captivating moments. Hyde Dubai is not your average hotel; it’s a lifestyle concept with personality and offers a home-from-home experience. That’s why you’ll find a collection of our favourite records in the lobby, artwork by local artists on display throughout the hotel, and friendly faces at every turn to give first-class customer service. The location is idyllic for those travelling on business; it’s perfectly situated in Business Bay, so guests are just a stone’s throw from major business hubs like DIFC, Bay Square and EMAAR Square. Within the hotel we have great working facilities and space, plus five meeting rooms with access to a terrace and natural daylight – there are no stuff y meeting rooms here. For corporate events and conferences, as well as social gatherings, we have multiple larger rooms to suit all occasions, including the Hyde Together ballroom, which can be transformed into a cabaretstyle or theatre-style set-up. But it’s not all about work. When you’re staying here on business, you also need time and space to kick-back and relax. That’s when our dynamic dining concepts come into play. Hudson Tavern is our laid-back urban escape, the perfect place to grab a beer and craft burger, while Cleo is a vibrant Eastern Mediterranean-

inspired restaurant promising elevated social dining, an extensive wine list and table-side theatrics. We also have Katsuya, which is the perfect spot for a standout evening, serving Master Sushi Chef Katsuya Uechi’s authentic
Japanese cuisine. With impressive views of the Burj Khalifa, a night at Katsuya is a culinary experience to remember. There is something for everyone at Hyde – you can enjoy great food without having to leave the hotel. Of course, we have the rooftop pool and lounge where you can unwind and relax, as well as the Cinq Mondes Spa for holistic treatments that suit what you need – soothing or revitalising. There’s also the stateof-the-art fitness centre, which has incredible views of the Dubai Canal, so you can get in your pre- or postwork gym session in. Hyde Hotel Dubai suits all types of business travellers – we look forward to welcoming you soon, bringing more enjoyment to your Dubai business trip.” JANUARY 2022
