5-Star Shopping Destination
Festival Centre treats its visitors to a first-class concierge shopping experience

Dubai has long been known as the go-to place when it comes to shopping in style, and Festival Centre is fast establishing itself as the premier shopping option for fashionistas and tourists alike.
Not only does Festival Centre play host to some of the hottest high-end stores – Lancel, Kenzo, Carolina Herrera and the eagerly awaited Villa Moda – as well as luxurious hotels, the shopping centre itself offers a host of services for regular shoppers, as well as tourists eager to treat themselves to something a little different.
Whoever visits Festival Centre, it’s guaranteed that no-one leaves disappointed, as the Centre prides itself on offering 5-star treatment to each and every one of its customers. On arrival guests have a host of stores and eateries to indulge in, but the minute those shopping bags get even a little too heavy, our range of Concierge services are there to assist.
Those running short on time can take advantage of the limousine service which provides a choice between the latest Range Rover or Jaguar to get themselves and their purchases home in style. However for those times when only a jet will do, we are ready and waiting to assist, so there’s no reason to miss that early morning meeting in New York or that stylish soiree in Paris. Best of all, in the meantime tourists can leave their baggage in the luggage room so there’s no danger of missing a flight – or losing out on valuable shopping hours!
And our range of stylish transport options doesn’t stop there – for those who prefer an altogether more tranquil visit to the Centre, yachts can be arranged for a leisurely jaunt around the luxurious Festival Marina; it’s the perfect way to see all the sights the centre has to offer. And those whose feet are weary from a little too much sightseeing along Canal Walk can take respite by indulging in our complementary abra service. Finally, for those who prefer to enjoy the sights off the ground, why not treat them to a helicopter ride?
For the true shopaholic, of course, there are over 400 stores to choose from, but when it comes to buying something for loved ones, our gift vouchers take the headache out of finding the perfect gift. Available in various denominations for use throughout the Centre, and also in the Crowne Plaza and InterContinental hotels, they make an ideal option for those short on buying time.
Of course, after a hard day’s shopping there’s nothing like relaxing with some sumptuous food, or even an aromatic coffee. With over 60 eateries to choose from there’s something for every palate.
 And that’s not all; our other exclusive services include:
• Wheelchair hire at no extra cost.
• Business facilities including faxing, printing and scanning.
• Courtesy phones where visitors can make local calls at no charge.
• A trolley valet where guests can leave their shopping bags free of charge during the centre’s opening hours.
• A bellboy assistant to help with carrying purchases, free of charge.
This is five-star shopping at its best.
For more information customers only need to visit out Concierge Desks, conveniently located by the VIP Entrance on Ground and First Levels.
