Born to a famous Parisian hotelier, MĂŠlanie developed an interest in the hotel world at a tender age. Her father was the doyen of hoteliers, successfully managing four of the most luxurious establishments in the city. It was no surprise that MĂŠlanie possessed an eye for detail and an enviable taste. At the age of 27, her obsession with fairways and sprawling flora instigated her quest to uncover the ultimate golf hotel.
IT ALL BEGAN WITH A WARM WELCOME
Mélanie’s journey led her to a superlative city in the Middle East with unrivaled generosity, welcoming a record 14.9 million overnight visitors in 2016[1]. Fascinated by Dubai’s infrastructure, year-round sunshine and taxfree environment, she wanted to comprehend how the hospitality market functioned and where it is heading. After prolonged research, she discovered a 4.1% increase in tourists to 4.1 million in Q1 2017 compared to the same period in 2016[2]. With a 16.1% increase in hoteliers’ revenue in 2016 to AED 21.84 billion[3], Dubai seemed like the ideal location for the world’s ultimate golf hotel, Mélanie thought. At 9pm, and while relaxing on a yacht in Dubai Marina, she received a promising phone call.
WHOLE IN ONE
The next morning, Mélanie set out to discover the largest golf hotel in the world. It was an exclusive preview reserved to a list of discerning guests and avid golfers. Upon arriving, she was mesmerized by the sheer size of the hotel, boasting around 2,000+ rooms in various arrangements and features. She realized ‘Golfotel’ is the only fivetower hotel complex surrounded by acres of lush flora and breathtaking fairways in the Middle East and perhaps the world. Just a short drive from Mall of the Emirates, it offered guests a convenient and hassle-free access to Dubai’s major attractions. It was the perfect idea given the lucrative hospitality market.
GET IN THE GROOVE
Sitting at the beautiful clubhouse, Mélanie was accompanied by the project manager who passionately explained the project details. “Golfotel is composed of 5 towers, 1 of them is completely dedicated to Navitas hotel; a four-star luxury tower” said the project manager while holding a blueprint of the entire project. “It offers guests a collection of luxurious hotel rooms and suites, with spacious lavish furnishings and a host of superior services,” he continued. “What’s that?” Mélanie asked while pointing at an outline of a pool. “This is one of the greatest features of the hotel; a large pool where guests will sunbathe and enjoy the sunny afternoons and great weather.” Mélanie was already impressed when the project manager interrupted her, “Wait till you see ‘Par 4’ towers.”
ABOVE PAR IN EVERY SENSE
“Par 4 is comprised of 4 towers with over 1,600 contemporary rooms with breathtaking views of the golf course. It offers luxury facilities and amenities as well as easy access to the pool lounge. Guests will receive a complimentary airport transfer and will be able to access the city’s best attractions through our premium shuttle service,” explained the project manager while leading Mélanie to a golf cart.
MANY HAPPY RETURNS
Wearing her father’s hat and thinking about all those years he spent managing hotels in France, Mélanie saw the opportunity in investing in Golfotel’s luxury rooms. The discoveries she made about the hospitality market gave her a glimpse of how profitable this investment would be. Moreover, by investing in a room, she’ll be a part of Dubai’s flourishing hospitality market and earn high annual returns.
A CHAMPION’S TOUR
While taking a tour in the golf cart around the community, Mélanie was amazed by the red blazing sun setting behind the green dunes, but there was something equally impressive. She got to see Vista Lux, the community’s centre of activity with luxury boutiques, restaurants and promenades. She imagined what it would feel like for the hotel’s guest to enjoy dinner while gazing at the water fountains and the expansive lake.
THE EYE OF A TIGER
MÊlanie’s final stop was the golf course; a championship standard course designed by Tiger Woods Design and managed by Trump organization. Trump World Golf Club Dubai will offer avid golfers a world-class course, state-of-the-art clubhouse, world-class restaurants and a pro-shop with the latest in golf equipment and gear.
A SWEET SPOT
On her flight back to Paris, she had a glimpse of the community through the plane’s windows, and in her journal she concluded “Golfotel’s location in AKOYA Oxygen will enable tourists to access major highways, making their commute to destinations like Dragon Mall, Dubai South, Al Maktoum Airport and many other important attractions a fast and easy one. I’m glad I managed to discover such a promising establishment and I’m looking forward to my next visit.”
