We are proud to have been a long-time supplier of choice for Distinction Group, a well established UK-manufacture of premium-quality furniture.

Every detail is carefully curated as Anantara is committed to exceptional service and an unforgettable guest experience.
Setting the Scene
Located in the heart of the city’s business district, the Anantara Downtown Dubai Hotel embodies the brand’s signature approach to contemporary luxury. Designed as an urban sanctuary, the hotel combines both sophisticated interiors with warm hospitality and creates a calm retreat from the energy of Downtown Dubai. Every space has been carefully curated to deliver an elevated guest experience.
The interior design reflects Anantara’s understated luxury, featuring a palette of warm neutral tones, rich textures and premium finishes. The overall aesthetic is sleek yet welcoming, reinforcing the hotel’s commitment to exceptional quality while celebrating the sophistication of modern Middle Eastern hospitality.
The Project
Distinction Group undertook the task of manufacturing and installing furniture throughout the hotel. The rooms and throughout the hotel showcased a blend of warm neutral tones, on the headboards, armchairs, and sofas, with a pop of deep green leather features throughout the hotel.
Each furnishing was carefully selected to reflect Anantara Downtown Dubai’s vision of understated luxury, ensuring each guest room, suite, and public space delivers an elegant and welcoming retreat. Premium fabrics were chosen not only for their sophisticated appearance but also for their durability and performance, meeting the demands of a busy luxury hotel without having to compromise on style.
By combining exceptional craftsmanship with carefully considered material choices, the hotel successfully delivers the elevated guest experience synonymous with the Anantara brand. The finished interiors demonstrate how thoughtful design, high-quality furnishing, and durable fabrics can work together to create spaces that are both visually striking and built to stand the test of time.
“Cristina Marrone were fantastic as usual in their service to us. Ben kept us well informed on lead times and was a great asset to the refurbishment job. We were very pleased in working with them on a large scale project like this and look forward to working with them again in the future.”
“We became involved in this project 3 years ago after a sample room was already delivered by another company and the result in quality and design was unsatisfactory for a 5 star hotel. Our CEO Mark Elliott worked with the Minor Hotels design & technical team to transform some of the pieces such as the Pandora Minibar into a truly unique piece worthy of the 5 star deluxe rating that is the Anantara, Downtown Dubai.”
