DEPA/Arabtec Hotel Interiors says it is proud to add the Hilton Dubai Creek hotel to the list of prestigious projects which it has successfully completed.

"As specialists in hotel interior contracting, we have executed many of the five-star hotels in the region, and fulfilling the exacting interior design produced by Carlos Ott for this hotel was a challenge we relished," says a company spokesperson.

"Our scope of work included all the fit-out for the public areas, including the lobby, reception, restaurants, cafes, meeting rooms and administration offices.

''We are especially proud of the main staircase, with its unique self-supporting system, made of stainless steel and glass.

''We started the project in November 2000 and were able to hand it over to the hotel operator on time, in budget and with great attention to detail,'' he explains.

DEPA/Arabtec Hotel Interiors has grown steadily through a network of offices worldwide to handle projects in Europe, US, the Middle East and North Africa.

"We have completed major hotel projects such as the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the Burj Al Arab, the Ritz Carlton and Rotana Al Bustan in Dubai (UAE), the Grand Hyatt in Muscat (Oman), the Sheraton (Bahrain), the Crowne Plaza Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt), and the Sheraton Helsinki (Finland), to name a few. We were also the turnkey interior contractor for the new Dubai Duty Free, which has been much acclaimed since its opening,'' says the spokesman.

Some of the company's current projects include the Grand Hyatt Hotel and the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai, the JW Marriott in Cairo (Egypt), The Four Seasons in Sharm El Sheikh, the Hilton in Luxor (Egypt), Le Royale in Amman (Jordan), the JW Marriott in Athens (Greece) and Hilton in Guam.

DEPA/Arabtec Hotel Interiors is part of DEPA Holdings, a group which includes interior contracting, a joinery factory, a quality fit-out yatch division, and is supported by design and logistics facilities.
