Saudi Arabia’s Kingdom Holding Company (KHC), owned by Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, has sold Mövenpick Hotel and Apartments Bur Dubai to a UAE-based investment company for $95 million (Dh348.65m).

The transaction was closed on November 28, 2014, the conglomerate said in a statement on its website.

Sarmad Zok, Chairman and CEO of Kingdom Hotel Investments (KHI) and Board Member of KHC, said: “The sale of the Mövenpick Hotel and Apartments Bur Dubai is a testament to the economic robustness of Dubai and to the buoyant M&A environment in the hospitality sector here.”
