With a warm and inviting environment in all 181 new rooms and suites, guests from the GCC will be particularly impressed by the brand-new penthouses. Each of the hotel’s 40 suites ranges from the smallest, at 47 square metres, located within the turrets of the hotel, to the largest, at 444 square metres, which comprises the new three-bedroom Mandarin Oriental Penthouse with private terraces.
