DoubleTree opens third hotel in Dubai
DoubleTree by Hilton has announced the opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai – Business Bay. Featuring 238 guestrooms and suites, all with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views of the Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai or Bay Square, it joins two other DoubleTree by Hilton properties already open in Dubai, and eight DoubleTree by Hilton properties open across the Middle East.
DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai – Business Bay is located in Bay Square, a low-rise community square surrounded by shops, cafes and local businesses. The hotel is situated between old and new Dubai, allowing guests to experience both sides of the city. The hotel also offers easy access to Downtown Dubai, and a free shuttle bus service to the business district, major tourist attractions and beaches.
“Dubai is a fast-growing, cosmopolitan city that offers visitors a range of activities, from shopping in the modern malls, to watching a performance at the opera, to abra rides on the creek,” explains Dianna Vaughan, Senior Vice President and Global Head, DoubleTree by Hilton. “As the first and only hotel in Bay Square, DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai – Business Bay is ideal for travellers seeking accommodation in this popular new destination. We look forward to welcoming guests with something special at every stage of their stay, starting with our signature, warm DoubleTree cookie upon arrival.”
Comprising an outdoor swimming pool, gym, sauna, and over 360m² of event space across six meeting rooms, the hotel will seek to attract business and leisure travellers alike. Dining venues include an all-day restaurant serving up international cuisine in a bistro-style atmosphere, the Arabic-inspired Oud Lounge within the lobby, and Bay Club, a casual pool deck, as well as the world’s first PizzaExpress Live and Le Petit Belge with a menu of authentic Belgian F&B.
“Hilton’s portfolio stretches across the region, and we are pleased to have expanded our presence in Dubai with the opening of this beautiful new hotel,” said Rudi Jagersbacher, President, Middle East, Africa & Turkey, Hilton. “DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai – Business Bay is an exciting addition to an already bustling area of Dubai, and we are thrilled to bring yet another of our world-class properties to a city renowned for its hospitality. With this great addition to our portfolio, we now operate 10 Hilton properties in Dubai.”
