Jumeriah Beach Hotel, Dubai
Artificial Grass installation
Why did Jumeirah Beach Hotel choose to have artificial grass installed?
Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Dubai is on of the most famous buildings and hotels in Dubai. It also stands next, what many consider to be, the most iconic building in Dubai, the Burj Al Arab. The Jumeirah Beach hotel is also considered to be one of the best hotels in Dubai and is therefore always full, through the winter and even the summer. A full hotel results in high footfall throughout and also creates a situation where facilities are always at max capacity. This was the case around the Executive Pool at the far end of the Hotel new Wild Wadi. The pool is becoming increasingly busy and there are simply not enough areas for the sun beds and beach style cabanas to go.
The hotel operations decided to extend the executive pool sunbathing area out towards the sea buy introducing some artificial grass in an area that previously had no other commercial use other than a path. The operators considered that are that would now be useable space for guest and calculated in the region of 25 – 30 more sunbathing spaces available.
Product Choice:
The Jumeirah Beach hotel management decided to use the Easi-Mayfair grass. In a hotel with this much footfall in all areas the product had to firstly look very natural but just as importably be able to stand up to large amounts of traffic and look great for years to come. The Easi-Mayfair has been tried and tested in many other hotels across the UAE and it is the obsolute best choice in this commercial environment. The Easi-Mayfair is low maintenance and very cost effective when compared to alternative flooring material for this area.
Artificial grass is becoming more and more popular in hotels. No irrigation is needed, no reseeding, not fertilisers, no brown patches and compared to natural grass is is extremely low maintenance. Jumeirah Beach hotel is the latest hotel to receive the Easigrass treatment however many more across dubai and the UAE have already had artificial grass installed including; Rotana, Hilton, Sofitel, Movenpick, Premier Inn, Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria.
