Hyde Hotels to open first international property in Dubai

Hyde Hotels, Resorts & Residences, part of the Accor group, has announced plans for the first Hyde hotel outside of the US – Hyde Dubai Business Bay.

Set to open in Q4 2021, the five-star hotel is being developed in collaboration with owner Emerald Palace Group. The 276 guestrooms, all with balconies, will be a mix of standard rooms and luxurious suites with views of the Dubai Canal, the Dubai skyline and the Burj Khalifa – the tallest building in the world.

Hyde Dubai Business Bay will feature an array of culinary experiences: the Mediterranean concept, Cleo; contemporary Japanese from Katsuya; hand-crafted burgers from Hudson Tavern; The Perq coffee concept ; a lobby lounge and the Hyde pool and lounge.

Further facilities include five meeting rooms and a function hall, a spa, salon, fitness centre, a swimming pool and retail area.

The hotel’s public areas, guestrooms and Cleo will be overseen by Ciarmoli Queda Studio, while Tristan Plessis Studio will design Katsuya, Hudson Tavern and Hyde pool and lounge.

Accor’s introduction of the Hyde brand to Dubai follows the hospitality company’s global expansion of its luxury and premium lifestyle portfolio as part of a recent acquisition of sbe’s hotel brands. Additional openings include the recent debuts of SLS Dubai and SLS Cancun.

Chadi Farhat, Chief Operating Officer of sbe, comments: “This opening is a testament of our continued international growth, and in particular, after the incredible success of SLS Dubai, Hyde Dubai Business Bay will continue to bring additional lifestyle experiences to one of the most vibrant destinations in the world.”

“We are delighted to partner with Accor to establish the first Hyde hotel in the U.A.E.,” says Dr. Mkhitaryan, Owner of EPG Group. “No expense is being spared in the construction and décor, and we are confident that our guests will appreciate the attention that’s been paid to every last detail.”
