Mövenpick to open high-end property in Dubai’s Business Bay
As the vision of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashed Al Maktoum, UAE Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Dubai’s sought-after Business Bay district is growing constantly, with various new projects being revealed by developers almost weekly.
Now, Swiss hotel company Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Richreit Real Estate Development LLC for one of the company’s most high-profile projects yet – Mövenpick Hotel Apartments Al Burj Business Bay. The striking 40-floor property, “with a modern yet elegant façade,” will command a prime position on Burj Khalifa Boulevard overlooking the world’s tallest building. It is expected to open in 2017.
Close to major infrastructure projects and attractions - including Old Town Island, the Opera District in Downtown, Dubai Mall and the Dubai Canal Project - the 299-room hotel and apartments will offer a destination spa, gym, beauty clinic and swimming pool; a children’s area with pool; an all-day-dining outlet, café and lobby lounge; and a business centre. “With Mövenpick Hotel Apartments Al Burj Business Bay we are introducing a new upscale concept that delivers sophisticated living in a district that is rapidly emerging as Dubai’s new business and leisure hub,” said Mr. Andreas Mattmüller, Chief Operating Officer, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts Middle East and South Asia, speaking at Arabian Travel Market in Dubai. The hotel will feature spacious studios, as well as one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Stand-out amenities include a three-tiered podium area with six meeting spaces, whilst the building has been designed with acoustics in mind - with triple glazed glass to ensure maximum comfort level for guests.
