Emaar halts bookings at three Dubai hotels amid COVID-19 crisis

Emaar Hospitality has stopped bookings for three hotels in Dubai for the next five months due to the slowdown caused by the COVID-19 crisis, said a report.

Address Fountain Views, Vida Creek Harbour Hotel and Vida Emirates Hills will not be accepting bookings from March 15 to August 31, said a report in Khaleej Times, citing a letter sent by the hospitality giant to its industry partners.

Bookings will still be open for stay dates from September 1 onwards," the report said.

Emaar Hospitality's clients affected by the closure of booking at three properties will be rebooked in other properties in the vicinity, it said.
