Revolving doors for increased comfort and safety at the Address Downtown Hotel Dubai

Expectations are high when it comes to comfort and safety in a 5-star hotel – especially in the prestigious entrance area. GEZE’s automatic rotating door systems and door drives, which are specially adapted to the building, ensure even more access convenience and improve safety at one of the most exclusive addresses in Dubai, the Address Downtown Hotel.

Pure luxury right from the entrance area in the Address Downtown Hotel in Dubai

This 5-star hotel is one of the finest addresses in the modern centre of Dubai. With 220 rooms, it occupies the lower 12 floors of a skyscraper spanning 63 floors in total. At a height of “just” 306 metres, it is one of the smaller tower blocks by Dubai’s standards, and yet it still promises extreme luxury. And the hotel’s spacious, high-ceilinged rooms are just as luxurious. GEZE is playing a major role in implementing the appropriately large revolving doors at the entrances. Our drive technology for the automatic rotating door systems with heavy door leaves, which is specifically adapted to the particular conditions on site, ensures a high degree of comfort at all of the doors – something which comes as a matter of course for a hotel of this class.

Automatic rotating doors allow for a whole new welcome experience

Extremely high and with generous passage widths, the revolving doors in the entrance area feel like portals to an exquisite contemporary oriental ambience. The door leaves of the revolving doors, which move incredibly easily and quietly, are just a taste of the comfort that awaits guests throughout the building. After a fire on New Year’s Eve, guests had to do without this comfort for quite some time. But now that the damaged areas have been fully cleared and extensive modernisation works carried out, guests can once again enjoy the luxury they have come to expect – in a whole new look.

Time for inspiration, new design and improved comfort and safety

The owner and operator company Emaar Hospitality Group used the time during the repair work to completely reinvent the hotel – with an even more beautiful interior design, more rooms and suites, an additional spa and new restaurant concepts. And the hotel still boasts the best view of the city’s two landmarks right next to it: the Burj Khalifa – the tallest tower in the world – and the Dubai Fountain.

Automatic revolving doors at the hotel entrances need to offer the best service with the utmost convenience of access at all times. This was achieved with GEZE’s efficient and flexible service on site. The original revolving door installations with large door leaves were affected by the construction works and were no longer functioning. The general contractor DUTCO had hoped to repair and maintain the existing technology. The service experts at our subsidiary GEZE Middle East in Dubai got involved, with the following services included as standard:

  • Inspection of the entire technology of all three revolving doors in the entrance area
  • Advice on all technical possibilities for increased comfort and safety for the door systems and door drives

Project experience and expertise on site

Replacing the door systems with the same solutions no longer proved to be feasible, as the spare parts could no longer be obtained. Impressed with our support so far, the client decided to rely on GEZE’s service and advice for replacement of the special revolving doors. As an efficient partner in the region, we were able to provide the right drive technology that was ideal for the door systems. Our experience and expertise in project solutions helped us to overcome the challenging tasks presented to us by the existing revolving doors with their heavy door leaves and the particular architecture.

  • Provision of drive and control technology for revolving doors and adapting it to
    • a very high basic mechanical design
    • high and heavy glass door leaves
  • Meeting all requirements in door comfort and safety for revolving doors in a luxury hotel with an international clientèle
  • Tight time frame: implementation of the door project and handover to the general contractor DUTCO within 30 days

Responsibility for implementation of the project

The GEZE service team in Dubai took responsibility from the outset, ensuring the project could be carried out rapidly and smoothly. Acting as a kind of task force, the service experts brought together all the parties involved in the construction and the project. They combined industry expertise and professional skills to form an efficient network that provided the inspiration for optimal, tailor-made solutions for the special revolving doors.
