Mohammed A. R. Galadari, Chairman of Galadari Group said: "We are extremely pleased with our new agreement, which is going to greatly enhance the prestige and popularity of our hotel with both business and leisure visitors to Dubai. The choice of Radisson Brand was made after long and careful study based on several important factors including their first class hotel management status both under Radisson SAS and Regent International Brands and their excellence in customer service as well as their dynamism and great popularity with international travellers."

"Another major factor in our choice was the fact that the Food and Beverage outlets in our hotel are among the best and most popular in Dubai and we are confident that the new hotel management would not only maintain, but also improve on the quality and popularity of our existing restaurants."

The hotel has 12 superb restaurants, which are ranked among the best in U.A.E., each providing a unique culinary experience to the residents and visitors alike.
