The Serai Wing is a sensuous hotel collection of private rooms and suites located in the Heart of Sharjah, UAE. The reimagined heritage property comprises two 1950’s family houses, once the homes of pearl merchant Khaled bin Ibrahim, uniquely converted by ANARCHITECT into a contextually sensitive, contemporary boutique hotel. It is an inner-city sanctuary to immerse oneself in, a retreat conceived to preserve the authenticity and culture within an important historical area of the UAE. This transformative piece of architecture beautifully showcases the importance of preservation; re-imagined into a new modern and contextual lifestyle destination for global travellers.
