Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates hosts meetings for 8 to 150 people, banquets for up to 100 and receptions for 300 guests on its outdoor terrace, with 350 rooms and suites for delegates. The five-star hotel is in Dubai and connects directly to Mall of the Emirates, one of the city's largest shopping centers.
Seminars and company events
The hotel lists ten venues for meetings and events. Its conference floor is built around five rooms named Konference 1 to 5. Konference 1 and Konference 2 each cover 150 square meters; Konference 2 seats 120 in classroom style and Konference 1 seats 90, and both take 100 standing. Konference 3 and Konference 4, 81 square meters each, take 50 standing and 40 at a banquet, and can be combined into a 175-square-meter room for 100. Konference 5, 52 square meters, suits a workshop of 15 to 20. For board meetings, the Boardroom of 72 square meters seats up to 16, and private offices take up to 8 for interviews or a project team. The hotel also publishes incentive ideas and arranges catering for corporate events.
Rooms and capacities
The largest event space is the outdoor terrace, offered on an exclusive basis for up to 300 guests, which suits an evening reception or a product launch in the cooler months. Indoors, the combined Konference 3 and 4 room and each of Konference 1 and 2 take 100 standing. The Aspen Ski Chalet is a smaller setting for 15 guests, suited to a private dinner or a VIP meeting. The figures for some rooms differ slightly between the hotel's table and its text, so the final layout is confirmed with the events team.
Accommodation
The hotel has 350 rooms and suites. A large conference group can therefore stay on site, with direct indoor access to the mall's shops and restaurants during free time.
Catering
The hotel provides customized catering for events, with menus agreed for each program. Its restaurants include Vera Versilia, Vera by the Pool, Salero Tapas and Bodega and Aspen Café, which give options for a team dinner or an informal lunch outside the meeting rooms.
History and setting
The hotel is run by Kempinski, the European luxury hotel group, and sits in the Al Barsha district along Sheikh Zayed Road. Its direct link to Mall of the Emirates gives delegates easy access to shopping, dining and the indoor ski slope at the mall between sessions, which helps when a program includes free time or partner activities.
Getting there
Mall of the Emirates station on the Dubai Metro Red Line serves the mall, and Sheikh Zayed Road gives road access to Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. Dubai International Airport is about 30 minutes by road outside peak hours, and Al Maktoum International serves some flights from the south.
