DoubleTree by Hilton coming up in Business Bay

Dubai Properties (DP), a subsidiary member of Dubai Holding and Hilton Worldwide, announced on Monday the signing of a management agreement to build a DoubleTree by Hilton at Bay Square development in Business Bay district.

The hotel will be part of the growing portfolio of DoubleTree hotels in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah and is expected to open in early 2017.

The 238-guestroom DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai Business Bay will cater to the increasing number of business and leisure travellers visiting the area whilst providing further F&B, retail and leisure facilities to local office workers and residents.

Mohammed Al Habbai, Chief Officer of Urban Planning and Infrastructure at Dubai Properties Group, said: “Our portfolio is growing and this new launch is part of a suite of hotels DP will develop in strategic locations in Dubai.  Hilton Worldwide is one of the world’s leading hotel operators, and we are proud to partner with them to bring the DoubleTree by Hilton brand to our Bay Square development.  We are confident that this new hotel will be a key feature of Bay Square whilst enhancing the hospitality offering of the wider Business Bay and Downtown district.”

Rudi Jagersbacher, President, Middle East and Africa for Hilton Worldwide said: “As Dubai’s visitor offering continues to evolve, we see great potential for the development of our brands – supporting the strong vision for tourism and hospitality in the emirate.”

DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai Business Bay will be one of DP’s many hospitality projects designed to cater to the increased number of visitors expected in Dubai ahead of Expo 2020. This is the second hotel announcement by DP in recent months, following the recent unveiling of the new Anantara hotel in the Culture Village district at Cityscape.
Expected to open in early 2017, the new build hotel will be located close to major corporate offices, as well as the commercial and entertainment areas of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall areas.

The hotel will also join 27 Hilton Worldwide properties trading or under development in the UAE, across Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree by Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn brands.

In early 2014, Hilton Worldwide announced plans to introduce its mid-market Hilton Garden Inn brand to Dubai, with the opening of two hotels expected in 2015.
