Lobster Experience Newsletter No. 05/2008 News Lobster’s Quotation Starting with the opening of The Harbour Hotel & Residence in November 2007, and to be followed by Wolgan Valley in late 2009 and Cap Ternay in 2010, the steadily increasing Emirates Hotels & Resorts group merges three of the most beautiful places in the world, which are taken care of and are represented by Lobster Experience – a hotel representation for exclusive hideaways worldwide. The well known branch expert Astrid Oberhummer & her team are thus responsible for all sales and marketing activities of these luxurious properties on the German, Swiss and Austrian markets. "The three destinations, as well as their resorts are so different and fascinating as they could possibly be" say Astrid Oberhummer and Andreas Mueller CEO’s and owners of Lobster Experience. "We have been working with Emirates Hotels & Resorts for a long time and most importantly with a lot of joy and are therefore looking forward to being part the two openings in Australia and on the Seychelles. Both projects are unique in their kind and will contribute highly to the luxury travel market. It will be a pleasure positioning them." The Harbour Hotel & Residence Openings A view over Dubai Due to the remarkable location at the prestigious Dubai Marina, guests of The Harbour & Residence can enjoy a stunning view over the famous "Palm Jumeirah" and the blue waters of the Gulf from their luxuriously designed suites. Not only the view is incomparable, also the elegant suites are noticeably larger than any other and feature a state-of-the-art in-room entertainment system and offer five star services, which leaves nothing to be missed for both families and business travellers. The Harbour Hotel & Residence is only a few minutes away from the main business hubs of Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City. Along with Championship Golf courses, numerous shopping malls and the popular Jumeirah Beach which are all quickly and easily accessible. With three distinctive restaurants the hotel knows how to pamper its guests. "The Counter Culture" is a combination of a coffee bar and a New York deli. "The Azur" offers healthy Mediterranean menus and "The Observatory", which is located on the 52nd floor, features finest avant-garde cuisine. Emirates in-house trademark, the "Timeless Spa" provides first class beauty and relaxation treatments from different cultures and healing disciplines.
