A MODERN skyscraper in downtown Dubai is the seventh location of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts’ newest hotel within the emirate, which will open in 2H2017 to cater to longer-staying guests.
Announced last week after the signing of a management and operating agreement with El Housein, Mövenpick Hotel Apartments Downtown Dubai will offer 246 hotel apartments ranging between 36m² for studio apartments and 104m² for two-bedroom apartments. It is sited within walking distance from Dubai Mall and 1km from Dubai International Financial Centre.
Facilities will include a speciality restaurant and lobby café, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a spa and beauty salon, several shops as well as two meeting rooms.
Andreas Mattmüller, COO of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, Middle East and Asia, revealed in a statement that the property’s main focus will be on providing medium- and long-term accommodation.
“There is a growing market for travellers to Dubai who prefer the comfort and convenience of fully furnished, fully serviced, branded hotel apartments. Of course, the proximity to Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and associated attractions means we will also be well placed to accommodate GCC families and leisure travellers once it opens in 2017,” he said.
The company’s six properties in Dubai are located at Ibn Battuta Mall near Jebel Ali, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Jumeirah Beach on The Walk, Bur Dubai, Deira and in Mamzar near Sharjah.
The next property to open in the region is Mövenpick Hotel Riyadh, which is scheduled to welcome guests from early 2015.
