At The H Dubai, our concierge team is busy from morning to night, making sure guests’ expectations are met and they have everything they need.

They have a busy and interesting day, let’s take a look at what a concierge does at The H Dubai.

Morning Beginnings: Greeting the Sunrise with Warmth

As the sun peeks over Dubai’s skyline, the day begins for our concierge. With their uniforms neatly donned, they stand ready to greet guests with genuine smiles and warm hospitality. This is the moment when the magic of a guest’s journey begins.

Meet Amir, one of our concierges at The H Dubai. He starts the day by meeting his fellow team members. They huddle together and have a Team Briefing before the operations start, to discuss the day ahead – who’s arriving, what special occasions are on the horizon, and how they can elevate the guest experience. It’s a bit like planning a surprise party for every guest.

Guiding through Dubai’s Marvels.

From booking exclusive dining experiences to securing tickets for entertainment events, the role of a concierge is all about making wishes come true. Each interaction is an opportunity to craft personalized moments that resonate with guests, turning ordinary stays into extraordinary memories.

As the clock inches towards midday, Amir transforms into a maestro of tailor-made experiences. He and his colleagues know every nook and cranny of the city, ready to offer recommendations that resonate with each guest’s preferences.

One Situation with Amir.

Amir’s skills as a concierge shone when a family really wanted to go to a music concert. They hadn’t booked their tickets in advance and didn’t know how to get them last minute. Amir stepped in with excitement. He quickly found out about the concert, got tickets, and even arranged a ride. The family was super happy with Amir’s help. They went to the concert with big smiles, all thanks to Amir’s great planning. “It’s all about helping people enjoy the city”, says Amir with a smile.

Lunch Break – A Brief Respite

Amid the day’s hustle, Amir takes a short break to recharge. It’s a moment to refuel his energy and enthusiasm, preparing for the afternoon ahead, where new guest interactions await. Amid the hustle and bustle of the day, the concierge team at The H Dubai carves out a brief but significant moment to recharge.

Think of a group of friends seeking a night out. Amir becomes their navigator, steering them toward vibrant nightlife options that align with their preferences. It’s like having a trusted friend who knows all the hotspots.

End of the Shift: Reflecting on the Day

As the sun sets, Amir and his colleagues pause to reflect. They’ve been busy assisting guests, offering advice, and solving unexpected issues. The day has been a mix of various tasks and interactions.

Working together, the team ensures guests have a great time by making things run smoothly. When the shifts end, Amir makes sure important information is passed to the next team. He shares details about ongoing tasks, special guest requests, and updates needing attention. This keeps the service level high and the transition between shifts seamless.

Muslims observe Ramadan, as a period of reflection, prayer, community, and fasting, during which they refrain from eating and drinking from sunrise to sundown. However, chefs are constantly exposed to food, tasting, and quality checks, all of which are part of their profession. Have you ever wondered how chefs manage during Ramadan when they are to refrain from eating and drinking?

In this blog, let’s take a closer look at our pastry chef, Heirida, where she describes a day in her life during Ramadan and answers all of our questions.

Q) Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Chef- I’m originally from Jakarta, Indonesia, where I started my career as a pastry chef in a 4-star hotel. However, I felt the need to explore more opportunities and that’s when I made my way to Dubai. I vividly remember starting off as an intern here many years ago, but with hard work and dedication, I was able to sharpen my skills and climb the ladder to an executive-level position.

Throughout my journey, I’ve had the privilege of working with several luxurious 5-star properties such as Marriott, The Atlantis, and now with The H Dubai. It’s been 6 years now with The H Dubai and I can honestly say that I’ve never encountered such a diverse group of people. The work culture here and throughout Dubai as a whole is one that I find myself in perfect harmony with.

Q) How does the experience of cooking during Ramadan differ from other times of the year?

Chef- As a chef myself, I can tell you that Ramadan is much more challenging for food and beverage staff than people might think. Surrounded by mouth-watering delicacies that we prepare daily, it takes a lot of self-control to resist temptation. However, we are motivated by the basic principle of Ramadan and its emphasis on self-discipline.

We also make a routine of finishing our daily pre-preparations a day in advance so we can taste them in the evenings and ensure that the creations are perfect.

Q) How do you stay creative and innovative with your Iftar menu during Ramadan?

Chef-  Here at The H Dubai, we take great pride in creating menus that cater to each and every guest’s preferences. We do understand the importance of offering a diverse range of dishes that cater to both fasting Muslims and those who aren’t. As a team, we put in a lot of effort and dedication to come up with new and exciting menu options by conducting thorough research and drawing inspiration from our previous successful menus. Personally, I am thrilled to share that I have created a new pastry recipe this year that has been receiving fantastic feedback from our guests.

It’s a delicious pastry called Dates Klappertaart which I crafted with an authentic Indonesian taste as the base, and topped with dates to honor Arabic culture during this holy month. As always, we never forget to listen closely to our customer’s feedback, and we strive to feature their favorite dishes from previous menus.

Q) What are some of your favorite memories as a chef during Ramadan?

Chef- Ramadan is one of my favorite times of the year. Being a Muslim, I eagerly anticipate this special month every year. I have fond memories of when I used to work with a well-renowned brand in Dubai and couldn’t wait for the Iftar. It was held outside on the beach, with a stunning sunset as the backdrop. Watching the sun dip into the water and paint the sky with its breathtaking colors made me forget all about the exhaustion of the day.

Now as a Chef In The H Dubai, I take great pride in seeing the happy faces of our guests. Families come to our restaurant to break their fast and indulge in their favorite dishes, and being able to satisfy their cravings to the fullest is an accomplishment that fills me with joy.

Q) Do you want to provide a message for other chefs who are also fasting like you?

Chef- As a chef fasting during Ramadan, I want to send my heartfelt wishes to all fellow chefs also observing the holy month. Let’s use this time to connect with Allah, and cultivate patience, and discipline. Stay hydrated and nourished during iftar and suhoor. May Allah accept our fasts and grant us the strength to perform our duties with excellence.

Our bodies are blessed with self-healing, self-renewing and self-cleansing powers when kept under the right natural conditions. Back in the days, when we led simple lifestyle that involved clean-eating habits, breathing toxin-free air, drinking clean water and physical movement, detoxification was a natural process. However, as we increasingly drift away from the virtues of natural living and embrace the toxicity of the present world, this natural detoxification process has gotten altered. Nevertheless, it’s never too late to fix things and start fresh.

January, being the month of fresh beginnings, let’s embrace the power of detoxification. Through this vlog, explore simple ways in which we at The H Dubai, are making detoxing a part of our everyday life. From starting our day with a power smoothie to stimulating our lymphatic system at Mandara Spa, we are focused on boosting your health and well-being for 2023.

Benefits of Detoxification

Before we dive into how we can detox, let’s discuss why detoxing your body regularly is crucial for us.

– A regular detoxing ritual ensures the removal of toxins from our systems leading to smooth functioning of our organs and also helps in weight loss.

– A toxin-free body ensures that our immune system is strong and safeguards us against any illnesses.

– We experience a boost in our energy levels and feel more vibrant, alive, and joyful.

– It significantly reduces our cravings of sugar, carbs, processed or aerated food and drinks.

– Lastly, it helps to remove brain-fog which happens because of poor lifestyle choices. Detoxification promotes clear thinking and makes us more alert about our emotions. So let’s get to it!

1. Start with a Power Smoothie

Someone rightly said, “A smoothie a day keeps the grumpiness away”. Who doesn’t like a no-fuss nutrient-packed breakfast especially when it comes in a portable to-go glass and is delicious? Yes, I am talking about smoothies. Full of fruits and vegetables, rich in fiber and natural sugar, a perfect detoxifying meal and highly customizable, smoothies are game-changers. Just blend together your favourite fruits and veggies, yoghurt or milk, nuts and seeds, protein powder or spices and voila, you have for yourself a holistic meal. Still lazy to make one? The Gallery is churning fresh smoothies every morning to not only give you a fresh start but also keep you fuller and more satisfied for longer. 

2. Sweat It Out

It’s a no-brainer that a balanced diet and exercise go hand in hand to promote regular detoxification in the body. Increased movement stimulates the body to flush out toxins from our organs like liver, lungs, kidney and also the gut while regulating the sweat glands to cleanse the skin at the same time. Moreover, it improves our digestive system which keeps major health problems at bay. Be it 30-minutes of cardio or aerobic exercises or slow meditative yoga poses, the goal is to get moving. If you are struggling to get started or to find which form of exercise you like more, try enrolling yourself for a membership that offers multiple exercise avenues to choose from. From a fully-equipped gym to a Peloton Bike Studio and the newly launched InfraSlimX exercise pods, the Quantum Health Club can become your go to spot to create your own customized exercise plan that is fun yet effective.

3.Indulge in a Healthy Meal

There is no one magical food item that can detox your body, but rather a range of fresh and natural produce that aids the process. Foods rich in antioxidants, probiotics, fiber, and hydrating properties are food groups that have natural detoxifying properties for your gut. So next time you are planning your daily meals, try and question yourself whether your meals are covering these food groups. Did you incorporate leafy greens & root vegetables, dairy products, beans and lentils, nuts & seeds, probiotic drinks or yoghurt and protein? The aim is to supply your body with ample vitamins and minerals so that the gut microbes naturally detoxify your body after every meal. To get some inspiration, try lunching at the Eat & Meat restaurant to get your eating healthy journey started. Also, don’t forget to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. 

4. Stimulate Lymphatic Drainage

Our bodies are always in the work mode even when we are asleep. This constant internal activity ensures that our immune system stays operational and the cells are regularly cleaned & nourished. However, the stresses and toxins that come in our daily life can sometimes create blockages in our organs, vessels, nodes or ducts that then require external help to regulate again. This is where stimulation of our lymphatic system through a drainage massage can be vital. By targeting the stressed parts of the body, lymphatic drainage massage aims to restore proper blood circulation, balance body fluids and achieve stronger immune functions. People with muscular injuries, swelling, digestive problems, migraine or stress, arthritis or even someone looking for weight loss can benefit from this massage, as it ensures drainage of all toxins that block our regular body functions. This massage is not a luxury but rather a necessity. So this month, make an appointment at your favourite spa like Mandara to reap the profound benefits of this cleansing massage.

5. Hydration is Key

We lose about 2.5 to 3 litres of water everyday. In order to compensate for this water loss and ensure that the detoxification process runs smoothly, we need to keep hydrated. And let’s face it, plain water can be sometimes boring and remember coffee doesn’t hydrate, so let’s add some flavours to this process. Infuse your water with ingredients like lemon, cucumber or watermelon or replace your afternoon tea and coffee with a detox juice.
At Urban on 4, you will find your hydration solution in many flavours.

Trust me, detoxing is like rebooting your entire system! So, not just for January but for the entire year, aim to customise these steps to make them a part of your routine to enhance your body’s natural detoxification system.
