Emaar Hospitality Group, the hospitality and leisure subsidiary of Emaar Properties, has announced the upcoming Vida Harbour Point hotel.

Set to mark the seventh hotel project in the UAE under Vida Hotels and Resorts, Vida Harbour Point is located in The Island District of Dubai Creek Harbour, a 6 km² mega-project developed as a joint venture between Emaar Properties and Dubai Holding.

Situated by the banks of the historic Dubai Creek and overlooking its marina, the property is the second hotel project by Emaar Hospitality Group in the district, with the group having recently unveiled Address Harbour Point, a lifestyle hotel and serviced residences to be operated by Address Hotels + Resorts.

Vida Harbour Point hotel will comprise 275 guestrooms reflecting the Vida ethos of delivering a refreshingly different upscale lifestyle experience for the new generation of business executives, entrepreneurs and leisure travellers, and will also uphold the vintage design approach typical of all Vida hotels that seeks to embrace warmth, simplicity and creativity in design-led spaces.

With classic-leaning design sensibilities, contemporary finishes and vibrant colour schemes, Vida Harbour Point is set to be integrated with the creekside environment. In addition to a range of in-hotel amenities such as an all-day dining restaurant, health and fitness facilities, meeting rooms and events venues, guests will further have direct access to a vibrant 4.5km long Creek Boardwalk and a marina that can berth yachts of varying sizes. The Boardwalk, meanwhile, will feature retail, leisure, F&B outlets, event spaces, galleries and water features.

Olivier Harnisch, Chief Executive Officer of Emaar Hospitality Group, comments: “Dubai Creek Harbour is today one of the most sought-after lifestyle and residential destinations and will be one of the hospitality hubs of the future. In addition to the iconic Dubai Creek Tower, the mega-development has a world-class retail district, a vibrant Island District with a marina and other leisure attractions that will appeal to leisure guests. Vida Harbour Point offers an exceptional location for guests by the creek, and will be a lively hub where style meets convenience and connectivity.”

The interiors of Vida Harbour Point will channel a fashion-forward concept underpinned by minimalist hues and open spaces flooded with natural light, whilst the neutral colour palette across the property aims to cultivate a soothing ambience. Contemporary technology features will be deployed for fast connectivity, and several themed restaurants will be opened within, with details to be announced in due course.

Vida Hotels and Resorts currently has two operational properties in the UAE – the 156-key Vida Downtown and 197-key Manzil Downtown, both in Downtown Dubai. Its other upcoming projects in the country include: Vida Dubai Marina, Vida Dubai Mall, Vida The Hills, Vida Townsquare, Vida Residences Downtown and Vida Beach Reem Island Abu Dhabi. The brand has also recently expanded internationally with management agreements to operate Vida Jeddah Gate in Saudi Arabia, Vida Marassi Marina in Egypt and Vida Marassi Al Bahrain.
