Get packing those bags.

To put its huge stature in perspective, Gevora Hotel will be more than three times taller than Big Ben,
56 metres taller than the Eiffel Tower, and around equal to the length of three football pitches.

The new hotel will be a dry one and promises “the best of Middle Eastern hospitality and exclusivity”.
Sounds lovely.

breath.

Bay. The hotel is made up of 432 stylish rooms and suites with private balconies overlooking the

Leonardo da Vinci. Triton is a fusion and Mediterranean food restaurant and La Fontana is an all-day
dining venue offering an international buffet.
