The hotel business is a tough business at the moment, while occupancy rates are high, margins are low as a result of fierce competition. So opening a new hotel and being successful this year is going to be no mean feat. That isn’t beyond Jumeirah Group, homegrown in Dubai and masters of service and hospitality, opening their latest offering, the Al Naseem Hotel, at the end of 2016. 

Already, the hotel has made a good impression with locals, residents and tourists including celebrities. From the sporting world alone, you can count Anthony Joshua, Mo Farah, Rio Ferdinand and AP McCoy as stars who have stayed here.
