Nassima Royal luxury hotel opens in heart of Dubai

Tourists and visitors coming to the United Arab Emirates have a new option for luxury lodging with the opening of the Nassima Royal, an ACICO hotel, in downtown Dubai.

The Nassima Royal features luxury guest rooms and suites, technology access, panoramic views and a plethora of amenities as well as 18 meeting rooms and restaurants serving gourmet cuisine items. 

ACICO is a corporation with industries across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and a real estate division that oversees several properties in Dubai and Fujairah. Company officials said ACICO will continue its expansion into the Gulf region in various sectors.

The official opening of the hotel was marked with a press conference Dec. 20 led by ACICO Hospitality Director of Operations Nabil Al-Khalid and General Manager Cornelia Erhardt.

Al Khalid said Nassima Royal was ACICO's "entry into the luxurious hospitality market (and) came after major studies and an analysis about the future growth in tourist travel trends."

"This entity will soon become a milestone in the field of tourism in Dubai," Al Khalid said.
