Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has signed an agreement with TAJ RP International Limited, part of RP Group of Companies, to open Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina in 2016.

The 3,037 square-metre hotel site sits next to Dubai Marina Mall and within walking distance of the picturesque pedestrian promenade which borders the waterway lined with vibrant cafes and restaurants. The property will also be in close proximity to the business hub made up of Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City and Knowledge Village.

The 280-room Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina will offer three large-sized meeting rooms, a boardroom and a ballroom. As well as a spa and health club, guests will also be able to enjoy three restaurants, two of which will be specialty and one all day dining, a lobby lounge and bar.

Pascal Gauvin, Chief Operating Officer, India, Middle East and Africa for IHG, said: “As a brand that focuses on the needs of both the business and leisure traveller, the up and coming Dubai Marina area is a fantastic urban location for this project. We are delighted to partner with TAJ RP International Limited on this exciting new development and to continue to grow the Crowne Plaza brand in Dubai, and the wider United Arab Emirates.”  

The new development marks the entry of the fourth Crowne Plaza hotel into Dubai and the ninth Crowne Plaza hotel into the UAE, without taking into account the UAE’s first Crowne Plaza Resort scheduled to open in Ras Al Khaimah in 2015. There are 65 Crowne Plaza hotels across Asia, Middle East and Africa with an additional 19 in the development pipeline.
