Dubai – Mubasher: Nakheel has announced signing a double deal with Hilton Hotels & Resorts to bring 704 new hotel rooms and serviced apartments to Dubai.
The companies signed the deal at the Dubai-based developer’s 254-room property at Jumeirah Village Triangle along with a Letter of Intent (LOI) for a new hotel and serviced apartment complex at Deira Islands.
“Both will operate under the DoubleTree by Hilton brand,” Nahkeel said in a statement released Monday.
The new deal comes under Nakheel’s AED 5-billion hospitality expansion, which is set to add more than 5,800 new hotel rooms and serviced apartments through 18 projects to Dubai.
Two hotels are currently operational, with the rest at various stages of construction and development, Dubai’s master developer revealed.
“Our new partnership with Hilton reflects our commitment to collaborate with globally-renowned and reputed operators to deliver new and unique hospitality projects across Dubai,” commented Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah.
“DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai Al Khail Avenue will be located at Jumeirah Village and is already under construction with an expected opening date of 2019,” the statement showed, noting that the new hotel is directly linked to Al Khail Avenue, Nakheel Malls’ new major retail and dining destination slated to be opened in 2019.
The proposed DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Residences Deira Islands comprises a twin tower complex with 250 hotel rooms and 200 serviced apartments. It is currently being designed and scheduled for delivery by 2020.
