Dubai hotel boosts luxury car fleet

The luxury on offer to guests at the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai has been further enhanced by the addition of four new custom-made Rolls Royce Phantoms to its vehicle range.

People staying at the iconic Dubai hotel have shown substantial demand for the Rolls-Royce chauffeur service, which allows them to arrive at the Burj Al Arab in a unique fashion.

To meet the demand for the luxury offering, the hotel has expanded its fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms to ten, offering a bespoke layout in each car to reflect the "unique opulence" of the hotel.

Heinrich Morio, general manager of the Burj Al Arab, said: "We are extremely excited by the arrival of the new Phantoms, as we expect our guests will be.

"Our guests have long since enjoyed the chauffeur service as an essential part of their Burj Al Arab luxury experience and these additions will further enhance their experience."

Jumeirah, the hotel group that owns the Burj Al Arab, recently announced plans to further expand its presence in the United Arab Emirates by opening a new hotel in the city of Al Ain in Abu Dhabi.
