With more 5-star hotels than rainy days, anyone who visits our neck of the woods soon realises that the level of hotel service in the Gulf is extremely high. Just how high? How about alerting some parkour-savvy hotel bellmen that you’ve left a super-important USB stick in the back of a cab, and they track it down for you. Free of charge.
Now, while we’re sure that most hotel staff in the UAE would try their best to track it down, the scenario we just described to you is the the plot of the new short film, Two Bellman Two, produced by Marriott Content Studios. As part of the Marriott hotel chain, the film is further evidence of the original, out-the-box promotional strategy that the hotel group is attempting to raise awareness of the brand. And, if approx 750,000 views on YouTube in its first week is anything to go by, it is working.
Located in Dubai’s JW Marriott Marquis, the second film in the Two Bellmen series again stars leading Hollywood stuntmen William Spencer (Spider-Man; Spider-Man 2) and Caine Sinclair (NBC’s Grimm; How I Met Your Mother) as the obstacle-dodging bellmen. This time they are sent off to recover a missing USB stick, as they chase a cab across Dubai. Expect plenty of Dubai-based hijinks and even a bit of Hollywood glamour with an appearance from Frida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) and local comedian, Ali Al Sayed.
