Comment
In the 70s and 80s the UAE had very little international chains; initially it started with some of the local hotels running their own very small hotels (the first of which was the Airlines Hotel in Dubai in 1959). The first international hotel chain to open in Dubai was InterContinental in 1975 – on the creek, followed by Sheraton (1978) and Hilton. InterContinental Hotel was a subsidiary of Pan Am Airlines.1 medal was presented to Mr. Neal Prince, by the Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum as a token of his appreciation of well received design and interiors done by Mr. Prince for the InterContinental Dubai Hotel in 1975.
