DUBAI, UAE, February 14, 2011 - Jumeriah is celebrating the 50th birthday of Knightsbridge landmark, the
Carlton Tower. The building has stood the test of time in a neighborhood
renowned for its glamour and glitz and is home to the luxury five-star
Jumeirah Carlton Tower hotel. This milestone was marked with an employee
party and birthday cake by renowned Pâtissier Eric Lanlard.

Derek Picot, regional vice-president Europe, Jumeirah cut the cake along
with doorman, Miroslav Mileusnic surrounded by hotel employees.

The birthday celebrations are also being extended through the year as the
luxury hotel Knightsbridge
(www.jumeirah.com/en/Hotels-and-Resorts/Destinations/London/Jumeirah-Carlton-Tower/)
will be running a number of initiatives to keep the momentum of this
milestone going.

Jumeirah will be holding a 'Fabulous at 50' summer party to keep the
birthday celebration going throughout 2011. It has also created a special
cocktail called '1961' which will be served in Gilt, Chinoiserie and Rib
Room. Jumeirah is also publishing a book, authored by Clive Aslet, which will
celebrate 50 years of the luxury hotel in London
(www.jumeirah.com/en/Hotels-and-Resorts/Destinations/London/Jumeirah-Carlton-Tower/).

As part of the luxury London hotel special offers
(www.jumeirah.com/en/Hotels-and-Resorts/Destinations/London/Jumeirah-Carlton-Tower/Exclusive-offers/),
Jumeirah also held a flash sale in January to kick off the birthday
celebrations, which saw 50 rooms available for GBP50 for 50 minutes on one
particular day. Jumeirah also allowed one person to win the chance to
purchase its Royal Suite for GBP2011 instead of the usual GBP7000.
