It's already under construction - they started about 4 weeks ago.
Is this all contained within the existing plot or is it on the plot that was designated as a beach club?
This shot i catch it within plot close to beach club plot (near by Le Méridien hotel ) opposite to opera shop at JBR...

it's like edge (NEW RITZ HOTEL) to edge (Beach Club1) location .

let's hope they will worked side by side :)
How many floors is this going to be now?
not more then 5 floors !
This is a low rise no higher than existing Ritz and on the same grounds as they are large. In my opinion the RC is long overdue a make over and this will do no harm to surrounding area.
It will look good when finished.

Their 2 year completion date is going to be more like 4, any why you need 163 extra rooms when by the end of 2011 their is going to be hundreds of hotel rooms empty across Dubai?

And the Ritz is very very pricy, Ive heard is starts around 300 usd a night and goes to the thousands for presidential rooms
I'm just glad that this space will be used for another low rise structure. I am wondering now if the 90 floor tower in front of Al Fattan will go ahead, hopefully not!

I'm guessing you've never stayed at ANY of the beachfront hotels? Try and find any one of them for under $300USD per night and you will have been lucky.
not true at all,

I can go to a beachfront hotel in Dubai Marina starting at 180 a night ,
The Ritz has always been more expensive than other hotels and in my view also overpriced, especially in Dubai Marina where we have allot of luxury hotels now and upcoming.
You've done better than me then, which beachfront hotel can you get for 180 a night? The cheapest I've found recently is the Mina Seyahi but not at the rate you mentioned. In the past, ive only ever found this rate at the old oasis beach hotel. I've never found this rate at the Hilton, Sheraton, Royal Meridian, Mina Seyahi, Westin or Habtoor.

You must know the manager :lol:
^^dubai_gone is talking about DUBAI MARINA hotels at 180 per night, but they are NOT beach front. However they are CLOSE to the beach.

That's a whole different ball game.

Book a package and you get 1 week at Jumeirah Beach Hotel at 999 EUR incl. flight! It has never been cheaper as now in the never ending Dubai crisis... never ask directly at the hotel... they give you the lousiest prices even if the hotel is nearly empty.
