說到迪拜，你會想到什么？石油、巨大的人造海灣工程，還有全球頂級的七星帆船酒店。這種感覺將在上海上演。隨著即將在上海開業的酒店，Jumeirah這個名字漸漸進入中國人的視野。2006年底，Jumeirah接受瑞安集團旗下上海禮興酒店集團的委托，正式接管即將于2008年12月開業的上海新天地漢唐酒店。以餐飲、零售和娛樂業著稱的上海新天地，被稱為“上海的起居室”，是亞洲最著名的時尚地標之一。上海漢唐朱美拉大酒店將會成為新天地的組成部分之一。未來的某一天，當你在新天地逛街的時候，你會忍不住要關注新天地一座新的地標性建筑，因為它是獨一無二的。這就是未來即將開業的尊雅上海酒店。為表達對中國傳統文化致敬，這座酒店整個建筑和內部裝飾方面體現中國盛唐元素、充分融合了中國唐朝建筑的精髓。
2008年3月，Jumeirah正式揭曉了自己的中文名字“尊雅”。這個極具中國特色的中文名字反映了Jumeirah在中國市場的決心，它更是完美詮釋了Jumeirah所追求的卓越境界，那就是：讓每個下榻尊雅酒店的客人都能享受到與眾不同的奢華體驗。
