Rezidor announces two new hotels in Dubai
The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
further strengthens its portfolio in Dubai - announcing a dual hotel in the
“DMCC Business Park” in within the DMCC Freezone. A 32-storey complex will
feature the Radisson DMCC Business Park Hotel, Dubai (150 rooms) and a second
yet unbranded hotel (300 rooms, both to open in Q3 2011).
“Dubai is the economical heart of the United Arab Emirates and a very important
market for us”, comments Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. “These two new
contracts bring our portfolio in the Emirates to ten properties in operation and
under development - among them the award winning properties Radisson SAS Dubai
Deira Creek and Radisson SAS Dubai Media City.”
Rezidor develops the new hotels in co-operation with DMCC Business Park. “This
double-branded hotel tower will prove to be of great value in catering to the
varied interests of all our members and the Business Park. We are pleased to tie
up with Rezidor which brings its special expertise to this project,” says Bryan
Wilson, Executive Director - Property at DMCC.
The hotels will be built adjacent to the Jumeirah Lake Towers, opposite Dubai
Marina and 10 kilometres away from the upcoming Al Maktoum International Airport
- the world's largest international airport, which will handle 120 million
passengers per year - located within the 140-square kilometre Dubai World
Central aviation project.
The Radisson DMCC Business Park Hotel, Dubai will offer 3 restaurants, 1 bar, 1
pub, 1 lobby and executive lounge, 1 ballroom, meeting rooms and fitness
facilities as well as parking spaces. The second hotel will comprise a
