HILTON Worldwide and Al Ain Hospitality Investments LLC, the hospitality business arm of Al Ain Properties LLC, have signed a management agreement to operate a new DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in the Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) district of Dubai.
The new 110-suites DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai – Jumeirah Beach will be located on a 1.7 km waterfront community with large numbers of cafes, restaurants and boutiques. The hotel is expected to open late 2013 as part of a larger dual-tower upscale development which also includes a residential complex.
Rudi Jagersbacher, president, Hilton Worldwide Middle East and Africa said: “Dubai continues to be a key market for us and its on-going appeal as one of the GCC’s most attractive destinations is a major factor in expanding our city-wide presence. This latest hotel will be a welcome addition to the JBR Walk neighbourhood and will perfectly complement our three existing Dubai properties. We are pleased to enter into this partnership with Al Ain Properties which is one of UAE’s pioneer real estate companies.”
Boasting stunning views of the Arabian Gulf, DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai – Jumeirah Beach offers a full range of guest amenities including a state-of-the-art business centre and ample meeting and conference facilities for the business community. The hotel will feature two restaurants, including a speciality option, a pool bar, lobby lounge and a late opening nightspot. Leisure facilities will include a dedicated fitness centre, private beach, outdoor swimming pool, four retail shops and easy access to one of the city’s most vibrant and popular areas.
