“Four Seasons Hotels Dubai has partnered with Bloomingdales and Harvey Nichols Dubai to provide guests staying in the range of suites with a personal shopping experience at their preferred mall,” explains Leonardo Baiocchi, general manager. “Through the experience, guests will enjoy the luxurious suite accommodation at one of the Four Seasons Hotel properties and also have the pleasure of luxury transfers to Dubai Mall or Mall of the Emirates, a dedicated personal shopper and a choice of complimentary experiences such as afternoon tea, makeovers, beauty treatments and more. This experience is suitable for the fashion conscious, beauty lovers and shopaholics, who want to experience a personalised service,” he adds.
There are two Shop and Stay packages to choose from. Best of Bloomingdales takes guests to Dubai Mall where they’ll benefit from a dedicated personal shopping consultant. The experience begins with luxury transfers direct to the VIP entrance of Bloomingdales where guests will be whisked away to a private fitting room where a pre-selected assortment of the latest fashions will be waiting. Next up, it’s time for a pamper. Guests can choose from a manicure, pedicure or blow dry at the store’s Aveda salon before enjoying a choice of treatments from the Experience Beauty area.
