   Focused as"business hotel" combines form and function, high technology and exquisite luxury, elegance and efficiency.  It offers many restaurants and 400 rooms equipped with the most innovative technology and high finishes.  Although the tower in which the hotel is located has more plants, 56, his height is below the office tower, 309m-354m, which only has 54 because of the increased floor to ceiling height of this last. Offices  The Emirates Towers office building, is officially known as Emirates Tower One (Emirates Tower One).  The tower has a busy lobby that serves as a major business meeting spaces in the city.

  Wind tunnel studies Information on structural loads and building movements in both towers was determined using a modeling technique force balance.  Aero elastic tests of the two needles provided information on wind loads and deformations, which was used in the design of the damping system for them.  Information was also obtained about the pressures of coating used in the two buildings and the extensive lower structure, performing measurements at 700 different locations in the structure.  structural loads on the support brackets glass atrium in the hotel tower, including cases of unbalanced loads were determined from detailed simultaneous measurements of pressure.  A special analysis of wind climate of Dubai revealed that the diurnal pattern was different. For several days were studied before construction movements winds "days statistically typical".  The wind speed at pedestrian level was studied in 34 points lower structure surrounding the resort.
