New stylish Hotel from Starwood Hotels opens in Dubai

The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort and Marina, Starwood Hotels’ newly-built 294-room relaxation spot, is set to lure tourists and visitors with its interior neoclassical style and tranquil setting facing the Arabian Gulf. A complete converged network from Nortel was deployed by Alpha Data, the UAE’s leading systems integrator.

Located at the Jumeirah Beach, the new five-star resort offers a rejuvenating experience for the whole family to enjoy following its opening last month. Alpha Data deployed the telephony, data networking and wireless solutions; the installations were completed in April ahead for the resort’s official opening.

“The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort and Marina is another product of Starwood Hotels’ continuous goal of building top-of-the-line hotels for people and tourists,” said Allam Shalabi, Complex Director of Engineering of Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort and Marina. “The Westin Beach Resort is the new place to go to relax and enjoy nature’s beauty in a cosmopolitan city.”

A common network was also made with both The Westin and its neighboring hotel, Le Meridien Mina Seyahi, which is also managed by Starwood Hotels. Operating under the same administration department; telephony and data networking are now connected for the two hotels.

Commenting on the project with Alpha Data, Shalabi added, “Alpha Data’s track record with the hospitality sector and their level of expertise is why we selected them and the results so far are excellent.”

“We are extremely proud that Starwood selected Alpha Data to install the network for their newest resort in Dubai. Alpha Data has worked as a systems integrator for the vast majority of the key landmark hotels across UAE over the past ten years. Our engineers worked closely with the team at the resort to integrate all the systems based on the instructions and policies required by Starwood Hotels,” said Sandeep Nair, Account Manager at Alpha Data Dubai.
