When it comes to the the fabulously wealthy developers, one thing you can count on is that they would rather produced a gold-plated copycat than come up with something new and original.
Link Global, the company behind Dubai’s US$1bn replica of the Taj Mahal, is in talks with four international hotel operators to manage the 300-room hotel, its director has told Arabian Business.
The Dubai-based firm said it has been inundated with requests from jewellery and retailers wanting to rent retail space in the development, said Arun Mehra.
“We are already negotiating with three or four [hotel] operators; we want to bring the best in,” he said. “They are all international… one of them is not yet here [in the UAE] but is quite big.”
