This retail collaboration is not a one-off partnership for Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, which is one of the UAE’s top choices to stay in if you love to shop or if you crave the feel of a luxurious Aspen chalet right in the heart of the desert.
We spoke to general manager Slim Zaiane for more: “Home to one of the largest shopping malls in the world, Dubai has become one of the most popular shopping destinations around the globe. Offering a wide assortment of brands and facilities, Dubai caters different shopping experiences to consumers with varying budgets. The GCC is a key feeder market for tourists visiting Dubai solely for shopping,” says Zaiane.
Mall of the Emirates is a destination in itself with Vox Cinemas, Ski Dubai and Magic Planet all operating as attractive in-mall leisure facilities in addition to an abundance of retail shops, both luxury and high street.
“Aspen Chalet guests can request specific items, which can be delivered straight to their rooms should they not have the time or inclination to physically visit the stores”

“Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates’ direct access to the mall ensures that guests staying with us have entertainment facilities, suitable for all the family, at their doorstep. We have avid shoppers staying with us throughout the year, predominantly from the GCC and Europe, and certainly notice an increase in bookings during key seasonal festivals such as Dubai Shopping Festival, House of Bazaar and Chinese Golden Week. It seems visitors certainly look for ease and convenience as a deciding factor when booking hotels in addition to luxury – and we are fortunate that Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates offers all of these.
“At Kempinski Hotel Mall of The Emirates, we are all about luxury and enhancing our guests’ experience and so it is important that we cater to all needs. Other than a much-desired location with direct access to the mall, one of our key services is the ‘hands-free shopping’, which allows guests to have their shopping items delivered directly to their rooms free of charge. This gives our guests a hassle-free shopping experience, so they can get more out of their shopping venture and the other facilities the mall offers.
“Furthermore, the butlers that serve our Aspen Chalets have direct contact with the brands in Mall of the Emirates, so our guests can request specific items they are looking for which can then be delivered straight to their rooms should the guest not have the time or inclination to physically visit the stores.
“The Aspen Chalets and Noir Cocktail Lounge & Bar are also ideal venues to host fashion previews and limited-edition private sales, giving customers the chance to enjoy their shopping experiences in an exclusive and inviting atmosphere,” says Zaiane.
