The first Mandarin Oriental property in the Middle East, Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai, will open its doors in the first quarter of 2019. With views of the beach, urban architecture and chic design, the brand’s first in Dubai is set to bring a new wave of luxury to the shores.
Designed by acclaimed international designer Jeffrey Wilkes and featuring 178 rooms and 78 suites, the rooms were conceived as individual retreats on the Arabian Gulf.

Radisson Blu Hotel Reussen, Andermatt
Radisson Blu has announced a new hotel opening: the Radisson Blu Hotel Reussen, Andermatt in Switzerland. Facing the Swiss Alps, the 224-room hotel is part of an extensive transformation that seeks to build on Andermatt’s growing status as a year-round destination for visitors.
